The first fruit, cherries, are ready to pick by the middle of May and are followed by Apricots, Peaches, Plums, Mirabelles, Greengages, Damsons, Figs, Quinces and Persimmons. There is also a small Vineyard but unfortunately the Wild Boar tend to eat them before they are fully ripe. The land has wonderful nature trails and walks throughout it and abounds with wild flowers and butterflies. Apart from all the small birds, there are also pheasants and partridges. Visitors include golden Orioles, Hoopoes and Cuckoos who arrive at the end of January.
Eagles are indigenous to the Mountains and can often be seen soaring overhead.
The climate is the warmest in the whole of France with an average of 325 days of sun per year. It is also very dry although when it rains it tends to rain very heavily for short periods. The water supply is from an artesian well 60 metres below ground. It is fed from the melting snow water from the high Pyrenees and is extremely pure and drinkable. The supply is not abundant but sufficient if taps are not left running.
