  Fauna

  The bearded vulture

  Since 2012, a project to reintroduce bearded vultures has been launched in the Grands Causses with the aim of strengthening the French population of bearded vultures.
  Two sites were selected to let the birds go, one in Meyrueis, in the Jonte gorges and the other in the municipality of Nant, on the Trévezel Gorges.

  The bearded vulture is one of the 4 species present in France and one of the largest raptors in Europe.

  It is a scavenger and feeds on bone remains taken from ungulate carcasses (sheep, goats, chamois ...).

  Small heritage

  The mill and the canal

  Located at the foot of the hamlet, on the Dourbie River, you can see the mill of Cantobre. In the past, it was a mill for grinding wheat, nowadays it is a micro power station. It is fed by a canal, which brings the water of the Dourbie retained upstream by a dam. A fishway has been set against the dam, allowing them to go up the river even if there is no more water flowing on the river in summer.
