A magnificent spot with the road winding under the rock, running alongside a partially underground stream. It's both breathtaking and peaceful. Plus, there's a starting point for a short walk; I did the beginning and it was lovely: I'd love to come back and do a longer section!

Steady climb from Daumazan to Meras

Beautiful cave and at the northern exit there is even a waterfall and another picnic area (in the shade, more for summer, in winter we prefer to picnic at the southern exit!)

Nestled in Ariège, Saint-Lizier offers a dive into the past with its preserved medieval heritage. Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, it seduces with its cathedral and its frescoes.

Couserans is a Gascon country of mountains, hills, meadows, lakes, waterfalls and forests which is entirely part of the Pyrénées Ariégeoises Regional Natural Park. Among its 18 valleys located at the foot of the majestic Mount Valier, some remained landlocked until the recent past, which allowed them to maintain their own identity, such as the Bethmale valley. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was an overpopulated country whose small agricultural plots did not allow families to live, which is why the inhabitants had to show a lot of imagination to find survival activities. This is how some became “bear handlers”, peddlers of vanilla, fake stone, ice. Others became itinerant “raw distillers” or gold prospectors.

The most famous of his sculptures is undoubtedly the spear-thrower called the bird fawn. In the middle of the cave, a museum opens its doors to visitors. Come and learn a little more about this period of the Upper Palaeolithic. Be careful when crossing the cavity. A good lamp is mandatory, because some parts are very dark and the pavement on the side can be treacherous.

The cave of Mas D'azil is an eponymous site: that is to say that it bears the name of a prehistoric culture: the Azilian. It is very impressive because a river and a road cross it. A prehistoric museum is located in its center. Be careful while driving inside the cave to have your lights on. Magical place
