In full heart of the Cevennes National Park, the village of L'Hom is located between several natural areas with very various landscapes : Méjean causse, the Cevennes, Gorges of Jonte and Gorges of Tarn. A wild country, with rich diversified wildlife.

The Méjean Causse is a broad limestone plateau, country of sheep (meat production or milk : Roquefort...), of the carline with acanthus leaves, of the orchids... The landscapes combine the beauty of the steppes with the charm of the ruiniform sites such as the Chaos of Nimes Le Vieux.

The Tour of Méjean : walking of several days (5~6) on the Footpath of Causse to discover the spectacle of a territory worked by the pastoral life, with its large herds of ewe and its farms, true wonders of architecture, its menhirs and dolmens, traces of an old past.
