Le Trou de Bozouls in The South of France Sits at The Top of a 300ft-Deep Horseshoe-Shaped Canyon

The town of Bozouls in the south of France sits on the edge of a huge canyon that's around 300 feet deep. The unique geography of the area came about 2 million years ago when glaciers advanced and receded. Over the years this and the ebb and flow of rivers slowly eroded the rock, creating a huge gouge.

The town of Bozouls is one place you'd never want to find yourself stumbling around late at night in without a torch.

The commune in the Aveyron region of south France sits at the top of a 300ft-deep horseshoe-shaped canyon, known locally as 'le Trou de Bozouls'.

The unique geography of the area came about two million years ago, when a turbulent time in global temperatures resulted in glaciers advancing and receding, and rivers rising and falling.

The town of Bozouls is built on a limestone plateau and the river Dordeau de Conques runs straight through it.

Over the years, the ebb and flow of the water has slowly eroded the rock, creating a huge gouge in the landscape.

Bozouls' geographical location made it a natural defensive stronghold.

Thanks to the protective lay of the land, humans have built settlements in the area for thousands of years, using the limestone rock to create their dwellings.

Making the most of the natural defence that the canyon provided, a castle was built in the 9th century, but only its ruins remain today.

The town is only accessible from the south and in medieval times this route was monitored 24 hours a day by guards in two medieval towers.

Nowadays, the 12th century Ste Fauste church is the most famous building, where it sits right on the edge of the cliff above the river.

France Travel Guide - French Village of La Couvertoirade

Take a tour of French Village of La Couvertoirade in La Couvertoirade, France -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

For an exemplar Medieval French village, turn to a commune in southern France.

La Couvertoirade is a small but well maintained town with approximately 200 hundred inhabitants, most of whom are members of craft trades.

The town is most famous for the presence of the Knights Templar here. It was the Templars who built the fortress of the town in the 12th and 13th centuries. They were later replaced by the Knights of Saint John, who built the wall in the 15th century.

The ancient stone and tile structures coupled with pristine landscapes and angelic sky help to create the wholly ethereal atmosphere of this archetypal town.
