CAMON

The village of Camon, the only one in the Ariège to have been awarded the “Most Beautiful Villages in France” label, will surprise you with its beauty, its narrow streets, its Benedictine abbey and its dry-stone huts.

The village also bears the emblem of the rosebush, and is nicknamed the village of a hundred rosebushes. At the foot of every house in the village, a rose bush is planted, giving the village its wonderful colors and scents in May.

The village of Camon is located in the middle of a meander formed by the Hers river. The ballade, called the “Tour de l’eau”, is very pleasant and shaded for your summer strolls or jogs.

A magnificent abbey that once belonged to the Abbey of Lagrasse. Now privately owned, it can be visited through the tourist office. Take the opportunity to visit the church.

On the hill overlooking the village, the inhabitants cultivated vines and cereals, and this is where the dry-stone huts originated. A guided tour of Camon’s huts is organized by the tourist office.
