Souvenir Medal Monnaie de Paris 2006 - Cirque de Navacelles (34)

The Cirque de Navacelles is a horseshoe-shaped geological formation located in the southern part of France, in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. It was carved over millions of years by the erosive action of the River Vis, creating steep cliffs that encircle a central depression. At the base of this cirque lies the picturesque village of Navacelles, through which the River Vis flows. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views from several viewpoints and explore the area through various hiking trails. Cirque de Navacelles is also known for its diverse natural beauty, including its fauna and flora. Additionally, the region features historical sites such as old mills. This area is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its cultural and geological significance.
