The Hamlets of Castans

Highlight • Settlement

In the heart of the Montagne Noire in the Aude, in a mountain cirque, Castans spreads its seven hamlets: Bourdials, Escandelle, Lafargue, Laviale, Quintaine, Raissac, and Thérondels. The Clamoux, (etymology Clamous: the one who shouts), a rushing river, has its source there and collects seven streams which rib the landscapes of forests of chestnut trees, oaks, beeches, conifers, moors of ferns, heather and ridge lawns.

Roman road

Highlight • Structure

This superb trail is of both historical and recreational interest. This old Roman road, also called the salt road, shows traces of the passage of carts. These are also indicated.
Attention, because the ground, very smooth, maybe slippery in certain places.

Cabrespine Giant Chasm

Highlight • Other

A bit expensive but worth it. The tour is 50 minutes long and given in French. You can rent an audio tour in English and a few other languages. The cave is massive but on the tour you really only see it from the top. There are more expensive adventure tours that I would love to try in the future.
