Small limestone plateau perched on the slopes of the Montagne Noire with moors, rocks and grasslands.
Le désert de Saint Ferréol offers a remarkable panorama over the plains and hillsides of southern Tarn and is an excellent spot for observing the local birds of prey and also migrating birds at the end of summer time: Змееяд, Обыкновенный осоед, Луговой лунь and Полевой лунь. Dry prairies, marshes and fields bordered by thorny bushes host a wide variety of passerines such as Провансальская славка, Многоголосая камышевка, Коноплянка and Обыкновенный жулан. This last one is easy to observe in this area. Look in summer for a male perched on top of a hawthorn, on the lookout for prey. In the pine forests close to the St. Stapin Oratory overlooking the village of Dourgne, one can observe Хохлатая синица and Красноголовый королёк. In winter Альпийская завирушка and Стенолаз can be spotted on the rocky outcrops.

Français: Ce plateau calcaire perché sur le versant nord de la Montagne noire offre un beau point de vue sur le sud du Tarn. C’est un excellent site pour observer les rapaces locaux (Circaète Jeanle-Blanc, busards…) et les migrateurs à la fin de l’été. Les pelouses sèches, les landes et les prairies naturelles bordées de buissons épineux accueillent de nombreux passereaux dont la Linotte mélodieuse, la Fauvette des jardins et la Piegrièche écorcheur ainsi que l’Engoulevent d’Europe. En hiver, l’Accenteur alpin et le Tichodrome échelette fréquentent les rochers de Saint-Stapin.
