Gelegen boven het kleine dorp Navacelles en nabij Saint Maurice de Navacelles, vormt het Cirque de Navacelles (keteldal van Navacelles) een geologisch spektakel, uniek in Europa. Vanaf de top van een duizelingwekkend balkon, is het Cirque de Navacelles, een reusachtige trechtervormig kom uitgediept door de verzakking van de plateaus, een van de meest indrukwekkende locaties om te bezichtigen. Onderin het steilwandige erosiedal, 300 meter lager dan het kalksteenplateau, valt La Vis in watervallen naar Navacelles. Het dorp hangt aan de rotsen en de gecultiveerde velden omringen een klein kalkreliëf. Het geheel bestaat uit hellingen bedekt met rotsen die een groot amfitheater afbeelden, waarvan de kalkstaven de rijen banken zouden kunnen vormen.
