From the Ségala plateau to Lincou on the banks of the Tarn. There are numerous vantage points overlooking the Tarn valley and the Requistan countryside, home to the Lacaune sheep, whose milk is used to make Roquefort.

Réquista is France’sleading sheep-farming canton. Here, the Lacaune ewe reigns supreme. It is from her milk that the famous Roquefort is made. And it is here, in Réquista, that the Société dairy is located, where the cheeses are produced before being sent to the cellars of Roquefort to be matured. Every year, on thefirst weekend in June, the Sheep Festival is held: walks, meals, street entertainment, a dance… and more.

This walk is situated at the confluence of three valleys and between two picturesque villages, Saint-Just and Castelpers.The site of Castelpers is an ancient fortified settlement, mentioned in the Book of Miracles of Sainte-Foy de Conques. It has become a very popular destination.
