The discovery of Sidobre

Details of the activity

Rivers of rocks, quirky rocks and legends It's a world apart, an experience that won't leave you unmoved. But in the Sidobre it is granite in question! This stony land north of Castres is a unique geological exception in Europe. The legend says that the gods would have thrown these stones one evening in anger... You have to explore it with your child's soul, telling yourself stories and listening to the legends of this country of rocks and water. Disconcerting, poetic, exotic… There is no shortage of adjectives to qualify the Sidobre. In the heart of the Haut-Languedoc regional natural park, the largest granite plateau in Europe is a paradise for geographers. But not only ! To see these gigantic pebbles defy the laws of gravity, young and old have reason to wonder. What mysteries hides the Peyro Clabado (the nailed stone)? It weighs nearly 800 tons and miraculously balances on a smaller rock and on a surface of one square meter! Hikers, legend seekers, fishermen, mountain bikers: the Sidobre is made for you! Let yourself be surprised by the magic of the place.
