The Rougier de Camarès has unusual and very ancient origins.
The Rougier is linked to an extraordinary mountain range whose altitude, estimated at 7,000 m, divided the ancient Rouergat landscapes that floated on the Equator. This happened around 300 million years ago...
Since then, rivers have carved out this soft rock, creating very distinctive landforms reminiscent of certain landscapes in Colorado in the United States.
Throughout your walks in the Rougier de Camarès, there are several sites and monuments that are well worth a visit.
Sylvanès Abbey and the Russian Orthodox Church
The village of Camarès, its upper town, and its biscuit factory
Montlaur and its “Délices du Rougier”
The village of Combret sur Rance, steeped in history and listed as one of France's “Petites Cités de Caractère”
This area is home to the Lacaune breed of dairy sheep, which provides the milk for the legendary Roquefort cheese. Around Camarès and Montlaur, several farmers invite you to discover their sheepfolds.
