Description
This hike around the village takes in sumptuous scenery ranging from the Pyrenees to the Montagne Noire. From the plains of the Lauragais to those of the Bas-Razès.
The ridge lines offer views over gently undulating landscapes, amidst which stand out the characteristic architecture of the round villages, the Malepère vineyards and a mosaic of woods, meadows and bodies of water.
The route follows part of the GR78-7. It runs along a ridge that lies exactly on the watershed between the Mediterranean and oceanic watersheds. This geographical curiosity brings together two different climates, both influenced by the nearby Pyrenees. The result is an exceptionally diverse flora and fauna.
Follow the yellow signs.
