Beschreibung
From the 1990's onwards, 3 species of vulture have been reintroduced here. Starting with Gänsegeier, followed by Black Vulture (The world's largest raptor after the American condors) and finally, around 2012, the Bartgeier was brought back to the area too. The Schmutzgeier returned naturally. Apart from these magnificent giants, many other raptors can be seen here ( eg Steinadler, Schlangenadler and Wespenbussard) as well as Blaumerle 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 Gänsegeier 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:
3km from the village of Rozier, direction Meyrueis; 15km from the village of Meyrueis, direction Millau; 25km from the A75 motorway direction North / South, exit 44bis Meyrueis; 30km from the A75 motorway direction South / North, exit 47 Millau Center. There are two large free car parks. Entry fee is 8 euro (2025). Opening hours differ through the seasons, check the website (see the link below).
Easily reached from Le Rozier (well signposted). Along the road keep your eyes peeled to the sky because this is where we saw one of the introduced juvenile Bartgeier and also a perched Black Vulture (see map).

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 Bartgeier and Black Vulture.
