A family-friendly introduction to exploring the Bonnan Valley.
A gentle trail starting from the village of Milhars, known for its stone walls and its feudal castle, built on the remains of a 13th-century castrum and restored in 1630. The castle is situated on a promontory overlooking the Cérou River.
Not far from the village, the Bonnan Valley has been designated as a "Sensitive Natural Area" by the Tarn department. It is a unique and protected site. Here, you can admire a petrified waterfall, which is dry in the summer but cascades 40 meters high during the wet season. You can also observe rare butterflies, dragonflies, orchids, lilies, columbines, and more.
