BIT MEDITERRANEAN SCRUBLANDS AND UNDERGROWTH AROUND OF LAGRASSE
When one evokes the name of Corbières, the first image which comes to the spirit, except its renowned wine, is the universe of pebbles which covers this part of the country. Because, it seems that the mineral reign which is imperative itself here in a debauchery of cliffs and cliffs, grits and stones, cliffs and loose stones, pierriers and pebbles, supplanted the vegetable world. It is not of stones that are established(constituted) vertiginous castles perched on rocky fish bones or the magnificent abbeys decorating with flowers our valleys and which make(do) the fame of the " Cathar Country "! And nevertheless, speak about forests in front of these apparently desert areas to the eyes of the pressing traveler do not absolutely recover from the heresy. This Mediterranean forest, in spite of the multiple attacks which it underwent during the last centuries, possesses a surprising biovariety and a wealth faunistique and floristique remarkable through all the met circles (green oak groves or pine forests, scrublands and undergrowth, etc.). Furthermore, she(it) doubtless represents a place of constant delight for the nature lover been in love curiosity.
