about 20km south of the town of Millau and 100km northwest of Montpellier.
It will be centred on the village of the Hospitalet.
Car : The A75 motorway crosses the Larzac plateau
and runs between Clermont Ferrand in the north and Beziers in the

before Millau. From Montpellier, follow the N109, direction Millau.

(bus station), which is next to the train station, and take roughly
two hours. Last bus daily is at 6.30pm. Pay on the bus and get off
