Haut-Languedoc Regional Natural Park

The park spans 2,605 square kilometers across three departments, featuring mountains, valleys, lakes, and dense forests within seven distinct geographical zones.

Established in 1973, this protected area emerged as part of France's initiative to preserve natural landscapes while maintaining sustainable human activities.

The territory maintains strong connections to Occitan language traditions through local festivals, agricultural practices, and community gatherings in its 82,000-resident population.

Visitors can explore the park through an extensive network of marked trails, with information centers located in major towns providing maps and seasonal guidance.

The park contains three different climate zones, supporting 2,500 flower species and an equal number of animal species across sixteen Natura 2000 sites.
