The Gourteau Loop Walk

Description

Duration: 5 hours 30 minutes – Distance: 19.5 km
Starting from the medieval village and following the ‘Chemin des Fontaines’, this walk allows you to appreciate the scale of the wide meander formed by the River Agout and offers numerous views of the Sidobre and the Castraise plain.

Car park GPS coordinates: 43.636650, 2.319025
Treasures of Romanesque architecture nestled in the valley.
In Burlats, the Counts of Trencavel built a sumptuous residence away from the main roads, hidden in a bend of the Agout Valley. A true gem and a rare, perfectly preserved example of Romanesque civil architecture, this pavilion is named after Adélaïde, a princess with violet-coloured eyes who was celebrated in song and courted by the famous troubadours Arnaud de Mareuil and Alfonso II of Aragon.

You can find detailed directions by downloading the attached PDF file.

Missegle is a company proud to uphold the traditional and artisanal expertise of textile craftsmanship, promoting the ‘Made in France’ label. We are convinced that the quality of our products stems from the passion and experience of our artisans. However, we do not rest on our historical expertise: we also invest in the latest technologies to continually improve our mastery of the art of knitting. We have been using 3D knitting since 2013 thanks to our Shima Sekei machines. This full-knitting technique allows us to produce a jumper in a single piece, using a single thread, resulting in a garment knitted in three dimensions without unnecessary seams, offering exceptional comfort. At Missegle, passing on our expertise is a core value. We are proud to preserve traditional techniques such as mending and hand-repairing, and to pass them on to future generations. Atelier Missegle has held the ‘Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant’ (Living Heritage Company) accreditation since 2016, thanks to its exceptional skills, which have been carefully preserved. Direct sales in our workshop shop from Monday to Saturday, 9.30am to 12.30pm and 2pm to 6pm.
