Hike La Ronda del Peiraire

GPS parking: 43.611208, 2.399151
The circuit begins at the site of the old stone quarries of Sidobre, before the advent of electricity. You will see the loading docks where ox-drawn carts used to supply. The traces of the very particular "cuhns" that prepared the rock cutting, sometimes abandoned because the stonecutter, gone to war, did not return. At the quarrymen's cross, a magnificent viewpoint over the Castraise plain and, in clear weather, the Pyrenees.
Along your hike, through alleys lined with granite slabs, you will cross beautiful beech woods, chestnut groves and other coniferous forests. And always these rocks, this sculpted landscape: the anvil, the trembling rock of Lascombes, etc. Letting your imagination wander, you will spot the cow or the shark, here and there little streams, marshes and undergrowth that maintain a certain freshness.
