Nature

The Espace Naturel Sensible Gerbier Mézenc is characterised by mountain landscapes in which meadows, heathland, wetlands and forests alternate.

In 2019, the spruce trees planted in the 1970s were removed from the Tourbière de La Rochette so that the peat bog could regain its natural function and original appearance; it subsequently developed back into a water-shaped mosaic of various habitats.
