Carcassonne

Highlight • Other

"Carcassonne, located in southern France between Montpellier and Toulouse, was founded in the 6th century BC by Iberian Celts. The Romans transformed the hill into a fort by building a defensive wall. In the 5th century, the Visigoths conquered the city, followed by the Arabs in the 8th century, who were expelled by Pepin the Short in 759. In the 12th century, Count Trencavel built a castle on top of the Roman city wall at the highest point of the hill. Carcassonne became a central element in the defense system on France's border with Aragon. In the mid-13th century, the dilapidated wall was protected by a second, outer city wall." This is how the website for the television series "Treasures of the World – Heritage of Humanity" describes the city, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On the greenway, there are several bridges of this style, with large arches and ornate pillars. We also appreciate how the embankment has been laid out to avoid landslides.

Ferrals-les-Montagnes

Highlight • Settlement

This charming village of 150 souls is located in the Causses du Minervois. They themselves are included within the Haut-Languedoc regional natural park. The municipality is fortunate, due to the quality of its natural areas of ecological, fauna and flora interest, to be part of the Natura 2000 network.
