Mountain Biking Trail 11: The Heights of Gaillac - Red
Description
Relatively smooth trails ideal for exploring the richness of the Gaillac vineyards.
Castelnau de Montmiral is recognized as a "Grand Site Occitanie" and is one of "The Most Beautiful Villages of France." Its name means "Mount from which one sees," reflecting its strategic and dominant position that made it an impregnable site. The village's arcade-lined square, bordered by half-timbered houses, is as remarkable as its reliquary cross, a masterpiece of 15th-century goldsmithing.
