The "Cham des Bondons" is a limestone plateau stretching southwest of Mont Lozère, located within the Cévennes National Park in the department of Lozère. With 154 menhirs, the Cham des Bondons is home to the second-largest concentration of megalithic monuments in Europe, after the Carnac alignments in Brittany. A "Bondon" is the name given to the 2 small hills in this plateau.

Photography Tips

You will see this tree once you face the biggest hill, you just need to turn to the north to see it. It's a wonderful lonely tree that makes a great silhouette for auroras when a strong solar geomagnetic storm hits. If no auroras, you can use it a subject for sunrise/sunset or with the tail of the Milky Way.
