The feel of the route

Green energy: The Cayres Pradelles area is strongly committed to renewable energy. Besides the wind turbines of Saint Jean Lachalm, which can be seen from the route, several photovoltaic projects have been developed on the roofs of farm buildings. The aim of this approach is to make the most of renewable energy while also allowing farmers and the area to benefit financially.
