Agricultural soil of Montlaud

The southern slope of the Montlaud Mountain is a typical example of the agricultural land of the Baronnies. Under the limestone cliff compact, the slope gradually softens to the foot. On the scree of the lower half are installed the orchards. The top was once grazed, but the forest of pubescent oaks and Aleppo pines takes its place there. The valley bottoms, more fresh and exposed to freezing are reserved to the plum or to cognaciers, which are more resistant to the cold.
