LE SIDOBRE, ENTRE GRANIT ET HISTOIRE,
BALADE AU DÉPART DE NOTRE CAMPING FAMILIAL DANS LE TARN

The Sidobre is a mountainous region of the Tarn. It is located south of the Massif Central, east of Castres. It is known for the presence of granite. Walking along the small roads and paths of the Sidobre allows you to see exceptional granite rock formations. But it is also a region whose villages are rich in history and legends.

THE SIDOBRE
AND THE PICTURESQUE VILLAGES

Brassac, situated 1h20 from Cahuzac-sur-Vère and 1h from Albi, is famous for its two-arched bridge, a listed monument, and its castles: Brassac-de-Castelnau and Brassac-de-Belfortès. At the Maison de la Vannerie, you can see more than 300 pieces of basketry. From Brassac, there are several hiking trails, including the "enfant sauvage" trail. By car, you can follow the "Chemins des Mégalithes", where the menhirs of the region are presented to you.

In Burlats, a village located 1h10 from Cahuzac-sur-Vère and 50 min from Albi, you can visit the Adelaide Pavilion. It is a pavilion of Romanesque architecture. You can also visit the Missègle farm with your family. You will find alpacas and lambs, as well as a workshop where you can visit the production process.

In Vabre, a village located 1h15 from Cahuzac-sur-Vère and 57 min from Albi, you can stop in front of the belfry and the temple built in 1802.

WE CHOSE
FOR YOU

Other activities during your walk in the Sidobre from our campsite in the Tarn.

  • To relax, we recommend the Clauzel garden. This one dates from the 19th century.
  • For animal lovers, we recommend a visit to the 3 valleys zoo in Montredon-Labessonnié, a village situated 55 minutes from the campsite Le Soleil des Bastides and Cahuzac-sur-Vère, and 40 minutes from Albi. This zoo occupies a 58 hectare site and contains over 1200 animals. The visit on foot lasts 4 hours but it is also possible to visit in a horse-drawn carriage for an original visit, or in a buggy for more comfort.
