THE GORGES OF THE MEOUGE
To go from Koenig-sur-Méouge to Ribiers, you cross the famous gorges of Méouge. Located 5 km south of Laragne, the Méouge Gorges are classified as a biological reserve and represent a real gem for the department. Designated as a Marvel of the High Alps, the Gorges de la Méouge are bathed in heat and light and are a place for bathing and walking.
Picnic areas and dry toilets available for hikers.
These deep, winding gorges surround a fiery torrent that leapt, tourbillons shape, water holes, polished pebble beaches, natural reservoirs…
Even lovers of the old stones will be happy, admiring an old Roman bridge with three arches, still in very good condition, as well as the remains of a mill that was conquered by a flood in 1901. Grass geologists overlooks huge blocks of rock forming beautiful ivory-coloured strata. The curious will read with profit the explanatory panels of the fauna and flora: you are here in a Natura 2000 site full of Alpine, Provençal, Mediterranean, Iberian and even North Africa plants. So cool in summer, Méouge can also be lowered to kayaking in the spring or flown in plane or paragliding: from the site of Chabre, from where we have a superb panoramic view!
