The forests of the "Parc naturel régional du Haut-Languedoc" have a quite different flora - and fauna, compared to the garrigue. This slow worm was quite a surprise! - It was still early in the morning, so the reptile was still a bit sleepy. As I was still a bit sleepy as well, I nearly stepped on it.

Back to brilliant weather! Within a few days, the landscape had changed. From Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert to Lodeve the chemin crossed the garrigue, a kind of semi desert. Now the mountain ranges were densely forested. The highest point that day was the Mont de Troi Terres (944m). For the next 50kms the chemin would pass through the "Parc naturel régional du Haut-Languedoc". It was pretty windy that day. We passed Mecle and approaching Saint-Gervais-sur-Mare we saw "wuthering heights" with the typical heather. www.parc-haut-languedoc.fr/
