With a median altitud of 800 m, the Plan of Canjuers is a desertic and arid plate.
His name came from "Campus Julii": the Julius Camp. Julius Caesar has installed a campment before the conquest of Gaul.

The region whose surrounding the plate included is occupied by the Army since 1970. The Canjuers Camp is the largest military camp in Europe with 350 km².
Many of farms and hamlets have been evacuated and abandoned.
