Shelved into the cliffs of a vast limestone canyon between Sainte-Énimie and Le Rozier, the green Tarn below and medieval villages strung along the way. Narrow under the overhangs, and better savoured than rushed.

The D907bis threads the floor of the Gorges du Tarn, a vast limestone canyon between Sainte-Énimie and Le Rozier, the road shelved into the cliffs above the green river past medieval villages. Narrow and twisting rather than fast; mind the rock overhangs, oncoming traffic, and kayakers' cars in summer.
