The commune of Nant, on which depends the hamlet of Cantobre, extends on a surface of nearly 11 000 hectares. It will surprise you with its exceptional site on the banks of the river Dourbie, its old buildings in the town hall square and the magnificent market hall of the 18th century, its abbey of the XI and XII century and the many Romanesque churches of the surrounding hamlets, its XIVth century bridge century. But Nant also hides secrets, such as the network of canals built by Benedictine monks and the karstic spring of Durzon

Within a radius of 30 km, you can admire the Roman city of Millau, former capital of the sheep skin and the glove leather making, recently made famous for its magnificent suspension bridge.
For lovers of nature, the region is rich in gorges, springs, avens and caves, typical of limestone landscapes. The chaos of Montpellier le Vieux, a few kilometers from Millau, along the Dourbie valley is a magnificent example of erosion. You can also go underground to the pink cave of Dargilan and Aven Armand. The Templar cities of Larzac, Couvertoirade, St Jean d'Alcas, Sainte Eulalie du Cernon will allow you to go back in time.
La Couvertoirade, most famous Templar city on the Larzac Causse
