Profiles

Haut-Languedoc Regional Nature Park (French: Parc naturel régional du Haut-Languedoc) is a regional natural park in the south of the Massif Central within the Aveyron, Hérault, and Tarn departments of France. These areas are considered the Haut-Languedoc, compared to the Bas-Languedoc.

Administered by the Federation of French Regional Nature Parks (French: Fédération des Parcs Naturels Régionaux de France), it was created on 22 October 1973 and revised on 17 August 1999. It has an area of 2,605 km², with 82,000 people living within its boundaries.

The park (coordinates 43.52898, 2.6984) comprises a very diverse range of countryside, which is why seven different areas have been officially defined within it:

  • Caroux-Espinouse
  • Montagne noire
  • Monts de Lacaune
  • Monts d'Orb
  • Plateau des Lacs
  • Sidobre
  • Vignes et Vallées
  • The park provides a habitat for more than 240 species of birds, in a stunningly diverse range of climate and scenery. It also provides a home for mouflons, successfully reintroduced from Corsica.
