OUR FAVOURITE OF THE MONTH
THE CASTLE PATH
From the banks of the Dourdou to the valley of the Tarn, a loop accessible to all along the meandering rivers, in the undulating landscape of Saint-Izaire, a pearl of red sandstone at the foot of its castle.
The three valleys of the Dourdou, the Tarn and the Gos await you along this route in an enchanting landscape. From farms to hamlets, from undergrowth to river banks, enjoy an oxygenating walk in an environment dotted with red earth. Red is the dominant colour of the village of Saint-Izaire, built in an amphitheatre around a medieval episcopal castle.
