Discover the arid and fascinating landscapes of southern France and northern Spain, where the causses, garrigue, and maquis unveil a raw and authentic nature. These unique territories, marked by their distinctive vegetation and exceptional heritage, invite you to adventure and contemplation.

The Causses: Majestic Limestone Plateaus

The causses, such as the Causse Méjean and the Causse de Sauveterre, offer impressive rocky expanses, dotted with dolines, caves, and springs. These lunar landscapes, sculpted by water and wind, are home to rare flora and fauna, such as wild orchids and griffon vultures.

The Garrigue: The Scent of the South

The hills of garrigue, covered with thyme, rosemary, and holm oaks, release captivating fragrances under the Mediterranean sun. These typical landscapes, found in the Corbières or around the Languedoc, are perfect for walks amidst the white stones and low vegetation.

The Maquis: The Soul of the Mediterranean

The maquis, with its dense shrubs and plants like myrtle and strawberry tree, embodies the wild essence of Mediterranean landscapes. In Spain, it borders isolated coves and steep mountains, offering breathtaking views of the sea and valleys.

Live an authentic experience at the heart of these unique landscapes, where every trail tells the story of untamed nature.
