Exceptional site, it is possible to admire all its grandeur from the belvedere of the Auriol Balm, a sensational show that will take your breath away.
Navacelles is also a medieval hamlet with a peaceful river and a magnificent waterfall bearing the same name.
To reach the latter, the mill of the Foux, the river of the Vis will serve as a guide, while remaining at your disposal for a refreshing swim. Its clear water was just as important to the growers, both for growing and working the wheat.
Witness of a terrestrial and human epic, the circus of Navacelles was formed and honed by time, guaranteeing to all today, a most enriching sightseeing tours.

When is the best time to visit Navacelles ?
Accessible all year round, each season adorns the Navacelles circus with its most beautiful assets. Spring, for example, when the flora takes advantage of the comforting sunshine and mild climate to bloom and dress the site in a thousand colours. Let's also mention autumn, when the landscape blazes with its shades of red and orange, highlighting the maples of Montpellier.
