Saint Loup Southern France



Amidst a landscape of 'garrigues' (Mediterranean scrubland) between the Cévennes and Montpellier, Pic St-Loup stands like a steep-sided giant sculpture. The two sides of its shark's fin shaped form are quite different. The north face looks towards Hortus mountain, and is more
like a sheer cliff, from whence the name Pic,
while the other side has a gentler aspect
and looks towards the wine-growing plains
and the Mediterranean sea.
