Presentation

What a pleasure to go through the mystical universe of the Larzac plateau! The diversity of the landscapes from the national forest of Notre-Dame-de-Parlatges to the steppes of the plateau, will lead you to the departmental domain of La Vernède. A pause in this hamlet is the occasion to discover the traditional architecture, implanted in an environment dedicated to the agropastoralism. Through rural and atypical villages, you will finish the stage in Caylar, overhung by its Roc Castel, to discover in the central place of the village its sculpted tree, evoking in itself the life of the Causse.
