This land of stone north of Castres<\/strong> is a unique geological anomaly in Europe. Legend<\/strong> says that the gods threw these stones in anger one night. Explore the area with the spirit of a child, tell stories and listen to the legends of this land of rocks and water.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
