The cliffs of Orque (or Olque, depending on local toponyms) form a real rocky front overlooking the Haut-Languedoc: a limestone wall about 200 meters high, leaning against a plateau perched around 800 meters, north of the Caroux and Espinouse massifs.

The Col de la Croix de Mounis is one of those passes where you don't just cross a slope, but a true border between two valleys. Perched at an altitude of about 800 meters, in the heart of Haut-Languedoc, it connects the Mare valley to that of the Dourdou. For a long time, this pass was a strategic crossing point between Lacaune and Saint-Gervais-sur-Mare. Before modern roads, it was already part of a local circulation network, used by muleteers and stagecoaches, where villages, markets, and valleys were connected via routes dictated by the terrain. The current road still retains something of this logic: it doesn't cut through the mountain, it goes around it and "negotiates" it.

One of the 3 magnificent lakes in the South-East of Tarn. Although artificial, it catches the eye with its wild appearance. Worth seeing on sunny days or to escape the heatwave

This wide turn reveals a superb panorama of the mountain. In the foreground, the D14 winds up the slope with beautifully drawn switchbacks. Further on, several characteristic reliefs of the Haut-Languedoc stand out, succeeding each other to the horizon. One of the most beautiful panoramas of the ascent!

A simple chapel of the castle, the building was originally dedicated to Saint Martin. The parish church dedicated to Saint Victor was located on the site of the nearby cemetery. When Nages was captured by Protestant troops in 1586, the church of Saint Victor was destroyed. It was then agreed to enlarge the castle chapel to become the new parish church. In 1761, the church was dedicated to Saint Victor, even though, as the fresco of Saint Martin in the choir recalls, this saint is the church's secondary patron saint. Let's take a closer look: Michaël Greschny painted the church's frescoes in 2005. In the choir, we find Christ in Majesty, surrounded by Mary, Saint John the Baptist, and the patron saints of Nages. In the transept, the proclamation of the Good News is depicted with the four evangelists. At the back of the church, the Last Judgment. - The church is open every day. But the door is a little stuck!
