LA MONTAGNE NOIRE
The Montagne Noire (Black Mountain) at Mazamet, watching over the Pyrenees while sliding towards Toulouse and the rich Lauragais plain
The last bastion of the Massif Central, the Montagne Noire (which is indeed green) joins the plains of the Tarn, Hérault and Aude. Forests and rock formations, valleys and plateaus follow one another. The highest peak is the Pic de Nore (1,214 m), and the deepest flows the water that Pierre-Paul Riquet diverted to feed the Canal du Midi. Here, craftsmen have worked glass, metal, wool, wood and stone, and the tradition lives on. The Montagne Noire is also home to natural areas, farmers, tourist attractions and an attractive heritage.
