Mont Caroux, Mountain summit in Hérault, France
Mont Caroux rises to 1,091 meters and features steep cliffs, with the Héric gorges to the west and the Colombières gorges to the east.
The mountain has been part of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park since its establishment, preserving its natural state for future generations.
Local residents refer to Mont Caroux as 'the reclining woman' due to its silhouette that resembles a human figure lying down when viewed from a distance.
The summit trail starts from the village of Douch and follows yellow markers for 8 kilometers, requiring approximately three hours to complete the ascent.
The mountain marks the eastern end of the Espinouse range and creates a natural division between Atlantic and Mediterranean watersheds.
