Duration: 2 hours – Distance: 5.9 km
A short walk that will allow you to explore the old quarters of Brassac and enjoy some beautiful views in the heart of the countryside.
During your walk, you will come across the 12th-century bridge spanning the River Agout, which links the two castles: Belfortès Castle (the Marquise’s castle) and Castelnau Castle (the Town Hall).
In Rue du Moulin, you’ll see a half-timbered house on your right dating from the Middle Ages, which once housed a craftsman’s workshop.
As you climb towards the penstock, you’ll enjoy a beautiful view of the valley. You can also admire the view over the village of Brassac and the hamlet of Castelnau de Brassac.
You will then walk alongside an old irrigation channel (béal) that used to carry water to the fulling mill (for pressing cloth).
This path runs along the route of the narrow-gauge railway line (from Castres to Brassac), which you follow as far as the station square.
You can find full details of the route by downloading the attached PDF file.
