Description |
It is an amazing countryside of wild rocky outcrops and deep forests which frame the small fields and pastures of local hill farms. Narrow winding valleys are covered with oaks and sweet chestnuts that open to reveal massive outcrops of quartz. The region is dominated by the production of sheep's milk used to make the Roquefort cheese in nearby caves. At Les Juliannes and La Garrigue you overlook the Gorges de l'Oulas which was for centuries protected by the dominating presence of the Chateau de Paulin. The gorge is an amazing nature reserve with deer and wild boor in the woods and an array of birds of prey wheeling overhead. And there is no better way to see this from horseback or on foot. Walks and hacks start at the end of the drive and take you deeper into the calm of this beautiful countryside. The long distance footpath (GR36) will take you from here to Sidobres and on to the edge of Castres with its astonishing forest. |
