Ambiance

During the production run, the Cabanières from Montclarat paced up and down each day the landscape overlooked by the Combalou mound. Then, they would come back to their high perched village in the evening. This route which secretly keeps the imprint of their footsteps offers you to hike in a rural environment that has a rich rural tradition.
