Le Rozier is a beautiful little town (or maybe a village. I still don't know what the population lines of demarcation are on these types of things.) in the middle of Les Cevennes, the area I've been exploring for the past week. I walked into Le Rozier from another nearby town, which is also featured on my website. The hike into Le Rozier was about six and a half hours, much of it over even terrain. So a pretty good distance, if you ask me.
The nicest thing about the walk into Le Rozier was a place that looked out over a huge local gorge. The place was called "Pointe Sublime", and it was indeed delightful. From there, I could see Le Rozier far off in the distance, and gorges for miles and miles.

Noting the picture to the left, this was the view that I could see from where I was standing.

The town of Le Rozier, just as I was entering. Like so many other places in the area (and similar to a Brad Pitt movie), a river runs through it.

From the Centre Ville, this is the view up the hill of the castle and its hillside town. Truly medieval stuff.

A brief walk up the hill brought me to one of the old castle bits. Amazing architecture, and even more amazing that people still live there to this day.

A picture from within the hillside town, the one built up around the castles. Unbelievable stuff, and makes you feel again like you're stepping back in time.
