Tour of the Sidobre rocks
A beautiful day trip on horseback through the Sidobre rocks, starting from the Sabatarié stables. Stop at Lac du Merle in the morning to water the horses.
A few precautions to bear in mind:- Be vigilant when crossing roads (including the D622, which is busy).- the rocks are not slippery for horses (granite), but always remain vigilant when riding over them.
Walks near Le Lac Du Merle
Sidobre, a journey to the land of granite
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.
