Pelouses sèches à orchidées

From mid-April to the end of June, wild orchids are scattered on the hillsides of Vic-Bilh, in the Madiran vineyard! These dry grasslands with orchids represent a surface of 250 ha, on a site classified Natura 2000, including Castetpugon. These remarkable environments include many species of orchids. In addition to their ecological interest, these grasslands offer a unique Mediterranean landscape not very frequent in the South-West of France. Intimately linked to agriculture, these environments owe their existence to the clearing of land and traditional grazing.

An interpretation panel, located at the edge of the road, indicates the location of the orchid plots.
