Descrição
From the 1990's onwards, 3 species of vulture have been reintroduced here. Starting with Grifo-comum, followed by Black Vulture (The world's largest raptor after the American condors) and finally, around 2012, the Quebra-ossos was brought back to the area too. The Abutre do Egipto returned naturally. Apart from these magnificent giants, many other raptors can be seen here ( eg Águia-real, Águia-cobreira and Bútio-vespeiro) as well as Melro-azul 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 Grifo-comum and, even more impressive, 28 pairs of the endangered Black Vulture.

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 Quebra-ossos and Black Vulture.
