Circuit de Roquefort
Take the road and let yourself be led into the heart of a generous nature, the softness of a quiet valley that you will leave to touch the harshness of the Larzac cliffs. Here, men have known how to take advantage of nature. The water of the valley as a driving force, the witnesses are always there: a spinning mill in Lapeyre, a pioneering hydroelectric power station in Saint-Félix. And then, the use of space: the land that feeds the sheep that give their milk for the legendary Roquefort. And finally, the riches of the land which are revealed in architectural jewels: farms and fortified villages of Mascourbe, Massergue, Saint-Jean-d'Alcas. A stop at the Col des Aiguières is a must, where the fortified counters of Larzac unfold endlessly before your eyes and behind this pass, the mysterious world of the precious cheese, the Roquefort ripening cellars. All year round, the producers share with you their know-how based on ancestral methods. Another small effort to reach Saint-Affrique via the Causse de Tiergue. The curious may catch a glimpse of the boxwoods frequented by flocks of sheep, who knows? You may have to stop your flight to let this long white parade go by... What does it matter? We live here at the rhythm of nature.
