View from the tower into the valley

Built in the 13th century, its original function was to watch over the coast and warn of possible invasions. Today, it is a popular hiking destination due to its location on a hilltop that offers spectacular panoramic views.

This protected area encompasses dunes, marshes and river areas, offering a diverse habitat for many species of flora and fauna, including migratory birds and rare plants. It is ideal for nature lovers, with trails for walking and exploring, as well as areas for wildlife viewing. The reserve is a peaceful place where you can enjoy untouched natural landscapes, between the sea and the river, away from the tourist bustle.

Magnificent view ! It’s worth going up there 🤩🤩

Infernal ascent, when the trees disappear and you seem to be at the top, the pit is waiting for you. Reserve your strength because the last kilometer, despite being on asphalt, is HELL!

The Pave Mill is an old grain mill supplied with water from the village canal. The Pave Mill's activity lasted until the end of the 19th century. It was inhabited until 1942 and then fell into disrepair. It became municipal property and was restored in 2006 by the Laroque Heritage Association in collaboration with the municipality. The volunteers of this association installed a roof to strengthen and “waterproof” the building. The miller's workshop (on the ground floor) and his accommodation (on the upper floor) are currently being completely restored. The association is actively looking for a millstone that could help complete the work.

Fantastic day, almost spring. But it's always cold here. if you want to go there you must bring warm clothes!
