At Goualade, the Cap de Bos sheepfold, built in a circular arc, is the only vestige of this type of construction in the area. On this tour, you can explore the architecture and blend in with the sandy pine forest. At the bend of a stream, you will find yourself immersed in the oak foliage, allowing a certain coolness.
