Hiking - In the Land of Insects

Discover the Causse Rouge... in the footsteps of the red wood ant. An immersion into the homeland of entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre, a haven of nature where the "people of the grass" frolic.

This is one of the few hikes that crosses the Causse Rouge which, nestled against the Lévézou mountains, is teeming with botanical and heritage treasures. The memory of the famous naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre, a native of the village of Saint-Léons, can be felt at every turn. Micropolis, the city of insects, complements this refreshing walk in a fun, family-friendly way.

Be equipped with sturdy, closed-toe shoes and water.
