In the second, the wind of Cers is still blamed for its damage to human crops, not only there, and it is Nore, Bug and Arach who went to complain to Jupiter. Jupiter does not like to be disturbed, he transformed Nore into a mountain and Bug and Arach into the summit of Bugarach ...

At 90 meters high, it is the highest waterfall in the Aude department. For a bird's eye view of the fall, you have to go to the hamlet of Cubserviès. There is no access to the foot of the waterfall.
