The Naves cirques or craters have been listed as a geosite since 2014 as part of the UNESCO Global Geoparks programme.
Description
As you climb the foothills of the Serre de Barre, you’ll come across the villages of Naves and Brahic. You’ll notice three very different landscapes: white limestone with olive trees, thyme and juniper trees, the greenish and very crumbly marl (cirques below) and the dark schist where pine and chestnut trees grow. Such geological diversity in a small area is very rare.
