Lussan
Member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France
Lussan's stone houses crowd onto a rocky outcrop above the dry, scented garrigue of the northern Gard. Just outside, the little Aiguillon has cut the Concluses, a limestone gorge whose often-dry bed is pitted with pools and potholes, reached by a waymarked path.
Highlights
- The Concluses gorge, with a viewpoint over pools carved in the riverbed
- The village château, a listed historic monument
- The Pierre Plantée menhir, protected since 1910
- The Château de Fan and the Protestant temple
- Garrigue country where the rare Egyptian vulture has nested
