    Hiking

    The Fontaneilles pedestal has a mysterious history. Indeed, from the 19th century, a project to build a Virgin was launched with the creation of a monumental pedestal. Problem: once completed, the statue ordered in Belgium never arrived on site (suggesting a scam) and today a cross has finally taken the place of the statue.
    Anyway, the site offers a magnificent view of the Tarn valley.
