About 20km. Vertiginous footbridge across a valley at the village of Hautepoul. Combine it with a day out in Mazamet - the saturday market (until 12 noon) is worth a visit.

Travel in La Montagne Noire
This is a very rural area, and a car is essential both for getting here, and for exploring.
Cosa portare
Stock up with food and drink
The closest shops are quite a distance, so I recommend that you shop for food and drink before you arrive. You will find supermarkets in both Mazamet and Carcassonne. There is an épicerie in the nearby village of Mas Cabardès (4km) but it it has very limited opening hours.
