This circuit combines the pleasures of walking with those of a picnic by the water.
The Sidobre rocks are a curiosity worth discovering.
Lac du Merle is a haven of peace and enchantment where you can relax in the summer heat. It is a beautiful spot with rocks rising out of the water, giving you the feeling of walking on air.

A lovely day-long horse ride through the Sidobre rock formations, starting from the Écuries de la Sabatarié. A stop in the morning at Lac du Merle to water the horses.
A few safety precautions to bear in mind:- Be vigilant when crossing roads (including the busy D622).- The rocks are not slippery for horses in principle (granite), but always remain vigilant when crossing them.

This region, between Mazamet and Castres, is extraordinary for its accumulation of granite boulders, left in all directions by nature. The walk is always sheltered from the sun and wind, and there is no tarmac.
I am making an exception to my rule of ignoring the markings left on rocks and trees. This walk is well signposted, but only pay attention to the FFR markings. White and red lines for theGR® and yellow lines elsewhere.
