Path of the Canroute tower Nature Reserves in Fontrieu

Useful information

Location : In the countryside

Province : Tarn - Les montagnes de granite

  • English
    • The Canroute peat bog trail is located south of Castres and the Tarn, in the town of Fontrieu. This is a discovery trail of a fairly rare ecosystem in the Tarn: a peat bog. This wetland has been classified as “Natura 2000” to preserve its specific fauna and flora. You will admire in particular delicate Drosera, carnivorous plants, typical of peat bogs.

      The path is accessible at the exit of the hamlet of Lassouts. The route has been laid out and marked out to allow you to walk there, without degrading this fragile environment. However, be careful not to stray from the path. Bicycles and animals are not allowed. It's an easy and family walk, about 1h30 and barely 3 km.

      It is also called the Sentier des Vaches, because Scottish cows have been installed there to do the upkeep of the place, from spring to autumn. Their unusual physiognomy, with their long coat and their large horns, will not fail to surprise children.
