A dangerous but spectacular road, wide enough for just one vehicle, leads to the bottom of this majestic basin-shaped valley: the Cirque of Navacelles. The Cirque is located on the southern edge of the Massif Central in the south of France and was formed by glacial erosion some 3 million years ago. Afterwards the river Vis à Navacelles cut the base of the valley, creating a so-called 'horseshoe lake'. Finally, the lake dried up and left a deposit of flat soil, where the hamlet of Navacelles rose.
