Duration 1h30min- Distance 4 km
This route, reserved for all non-motorised modes of transport, partly follows the old railway line that linked Brassac to Castres, known locally as the "petit train de Brassac".
The trail begins at the site of the former Brassac railway station, which no longer exists. After crossing the Ruisseau du Terrail on a railway bridge that is still in existence, the path leads down the Agout valley to Saint Agnan.
You can return to Brassac on the GR de Pays on the other bank of the River Agoût.

A tourist trail takes you through 10 remarkable sites, offering a glimpse into the history of this charming medieval village (the old bridge, the two castles, the Marquise garden, etc).A leaflet, available from the Tourist Information Office in Brassac and from the town hall, will take you along the narrow streets on both banks of the River Agout. At each stop, you'll be able to admire the present and glimpse the past of this medieval village, with the help of a number of panels throughout your visit. This village will win you over first and foremost with its castles and its old 12th-century bridge, one of two in the département to be listed as a historic monument. But it's the spirit of Brassac that will make you want to linger. Whether you're a sportsman or just a fan of the 3rd half, the village spirit is ingrained in our genes. Here, everything is a pretext for a moment of conviviality. And before you leave, don't miss a visit to the basket gallery or the Jaël de Romano cultural centre. Get off the beaten track! Get on your bikes and explore the many downhill, enduro, cross-country and lake route circuits. There's something for every taste and level. This is where the X Cross takes place, the benchmark event on the international mountain bike calendar. The countryside around Brassac is also a great playground for fishing and canoeing. The Brassac festivals are a must! At the beginning of August, come and immerse yourself in the conviviality and good humour for 5 days!
Return to the heart of the Middle Ages to find Princess Escriboto.Set off in search of the princess with your little booklet of games that will take you to the heart of the medieval village (riddles, quizzes, etc.). Booklet available from the Brassac Tourist Information Office or the Town Hall.
