Walk and flavors of plants
Price:40€
I invite you to join me in the Aude region for an excursion combining a walk with the discovery of seasonal plant flavors. After exploring the charms of a small village on an easy stroll, we will be welcomed by Isabelle, who will open her garden to us. There, we can pick plants (likely bay leaves, wild carrots, or broom) and capture their flavors in a hydrosol we will make ourselves. You will be able to take home a small sample of this concentrated essence of nature...

Spring bivouac
Price:180€
I suggest you extend the pleasure of the mountain by staying a night in a bivouac. It's always a bit frustrating to go back down into the valley when the show is just beginning. Take the time to stay up there, to see the sunset and the Milky Way!

Botanical excursion
Price:50€
This day is designed for people who want to learn to identify plants or consolidate their existing knowledge. During a short hike, we will observe plants along the trail. We will learn basic vocabulary for describing plants and discuss morphology within the main plant families. Breaks are planned to learn how to use field guides and identification keys, allowing participants to become more independent in identifying species. The leisurely pace of the walk will be adapted to these periods of discovery and will also allow us to appreciate the mountain scenery.

Week-end in Capcir
Price:290€
I suggest you discover the Capcir plateau, a paradise for hikes accessible to all. The Capcir is a plateau that extends between 1300 and 1700 meters above sea level, allowing for mountain hikes without accumulating too much elevation gain. On the program we will have lakes, forests and vast landscapes open to the Canigou massif. And the cherry on the plateau, in October we may be lucky enough to hear the deer bellow. This weekend is designed around hikes without technical difficulties. It is therefore open to anyone wishing to familiarize themselves with the mountains and even to children.
