Descrizione
From the 1990's onwards, 3 species of vulture have been reintroduced here. Starting with Grifone, followed by Black Vulture (The world's largest raptor after the American condors) and finally, around 2012, the Gipeto was brought back to the area too. The Capovaccaio returned naturally. Apart from these magnificent giants, many other raptors can be seen here ( eg Aquila reale, Biancone and Falco pecchiaiolo) as well as Passero solitario and several others.
The viewpoint itself is a platform, built into the rock. It is part of the "maison the vautours" (house of the vultures); an interpretation centre dedicated to the reintroduction of the vultures in the region of the Grands Causses. It turned out to be one of the most successful reintroductions in europe: nowadays the area holds around 500 pairs of Grifone and, even more impressive, 28 pairs of the endangered Black Vulture.

The house of vultures is located in the Gorges de la Jonte, downstream from the village of Truel, between Rozier and Meyrueis:

It pays off to stop where you can along the road between Le Rozier and the visitor's centre to scan the slopes and check the skies. As said, this is how we saw both our Gipeto and Black Vulture.
