Stars in your eyes at Montalet
There are evenings when the desire to escape together becomes irresistible. No need to go to the other side of the world to experience a suspended moment: head to Lacaune and the Montalet rock for a late afternoon full of sweetness, flavors... and stars.
Gourmet getaway in the heart of Lacaune
It all starts in the quiet alleys of Lacaune. You stroll hand in hand, with a wicker basket under your arm, in search of local treasures: an artisanal sausage (Lacaune style!), perfectly aged cheese, a local beer (to be consumed in moderation), or a bottle of Mont Roucous or Salvetat water. With your provisions under your arm, it's time to reach the roof of the Tarn! Who's volunteering to carry the bag all the way to the top?
Towards the heights of Montalet
"Roc du Montalet – 1259 meters." That's it! You've arrived. Park your car at the roadside: it's time for the ascent! The path, bordered with gorse and green bushes, leads you step by step toward a magnificent landscape. A bird soars in the sky. The silence settles in gently, like a promise of calm.
Upon reaching the summit, breathless (as much from emotion as from the climb), you discover the view: the Monts de Lacaune, Lake Laouzas, and sometimes the Pyrenees... Up there, the wind is gentler, the colors are warmer, and the world suddenly seems so small. The sun begins its slow descent...
Picnic under the stars
A blanket spread out, local products unpacked, and dinner begins. The flavors are more intense when you eat facing a sky on fire, with your fingers brushing against each other, and your eyes meeting. It's simple, but terribly magical.
Little by little, the air gets cooler, then comes the silence of the night... Snuggled up close to each other, with eyes turned toward the sky, you watch for the first stars. One, two, then dozens. The spectacle is breathtaking! Impress your partner and find the hidden constellations. The Big Dipper, Cassiopeia... and right in the middle, the Milky Way! Oh... A shooting star! A chance to make a wish... The one to come back and experience magical moments like this in Haut-Languedoc?
Get a breath of fresh air at the summit of the Caroux
Climb to the summit of the Caroux, the famous "Mountain of Light," and treat yourselves to a suspended moment between sky and earth. Up there, above the gorges and forests, a panoramic orientation table reveals a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean and far beyond.
A breathtaking panorama
From this natural balcony, the landscape stretches as far as the eye can see: on one side, the Languedoc plains and the sparkling sea; on the other, the wild reliefs of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Natural Park. On a clear day, you can even make out the contours of the Pyrenees in the distance. Breathe deeply and let this magnificent setting reconnect you with the essential.
Climb on foot or by mountain bike, and once you're up there, let yourself be lulled by the wind and the whispers of nature.
a magical moment for everyone
