City/town information
About 25km. Famous medieval walled town. Entry is free, although there is a central area for which entry is paying. In peak season, it can be crowded, so for the most enjoyable visit go early or late in the day. You can walk to it from the Bastide St Louis (the town centre) in about 15 mins. There are plenty of restaurants within the Cité. They are very expensive. You will find restaurants in the town centre are better quality, less crowded, and less expensive.

About 8km. A small lake at the foot of Pic du Nore with shady areas round the edge ideal for picnics, and swimming when it's warm enough. In summer there's a buvette offering drinks, ice creams and light meals.

Spectacular waterfall on the Orbiel River. You can go in the car, but it's better to take the woodland footpath from Labastide. Continue the loop via Roquefère are return along the river.

About 20km. Vertiginous footbridge across a valley at the village of Hautepoul. Combine it with a day out in Mazamet - the saturday market (until 12 noon) is worth a visit.

旅行者へのアドバイス
交通アクセス
Travel in La Montagne Noire
This is a very rural area, and a car is essential both for getting here, and for exploring.
必要な持ち物
Stock up with food and drink
The closest shops are quite a distance, so I recommend that you shop for food and drink before you arrive. You will find supermarkets in both Mazamet and Carcassonne. There is an épicerie in the nearby village of Mas Cabardès (4km) but it it has very limited opening hours.
