In the summer of 1993, Mr BOZO, sculptor, presents thirty of his works in Mayronnes. The Town Hall acquires one of his works, the path becomes permanent. Now at the corner of an alley in the village of Mayronnes or at a detour from the path, new metal works, stone, clay, wood invite you to the daydream. Signs: Yellow markings Park in the parking lot at the entrance of the village. At the bottom of the parking lot on the right side, take the track leading to a small bridge over the Madourneille stream. Turn immediately to the right and 30m later to the right again and follow the stream. At the crossroads, turn left and then left again, take an ascending path also borrowed by the GR36 hiking trail. Join a wide track, take it to the left and follow it. It turns right then left, crosses a stream and climbs to a pass (viewpoint on the Corbières). Leave the track and go down a path on the left. Cross a plateau then a gullied ground and continue on the track in the same direction until you reach the crossroads of the Serrat de la Bouzole. Go down on the left and follow an electric line. The path goes away from it and turns right to plunge into the forest. Leave a path going down to the left and continue straight on the main path.Ford under the power line. At the level of an abandoned building, the path widens to become a track. Go around the ruin, ignore a track that goes down on the right to continue to a crossroads. Turn left. After 200m, turn right towards a fenced vineyard. Go along it while going up in the bed of the brook. At the top of the vineyard, turn left onto a steep path. Climb natural steps in the rock and then go around a bush on the left. Once you find the path again, turn right and walk along a field. Join a track and follow it downhill.

The Panoramas of Lacamp

Garrigue, communal forest (beeches and oaks) and state forest (firs and cedars) The departure of this old rural path (from Labastide to Bouisse) is from the "Pont Vieux". An "obligatory" parking lot is located under the housing estate on the right as you enter the village. Go up on the right bank of the Alsou stream and take the path bordered on the left by an old wall. Pass a fence, then a maze of broom. The path then climbs up to reach a small pass and continues through the garrigue and then through the undergrowth to a forest track. Cross it, go up to the ladder, the Bouisse path continues in the undergrowth. Further on, viewpoint on the village from the Taillau rock. Then a river crossing where the water rarely flows "Richard's brook". Go up the dry stream on its right bank, then left bank and right bank again to reach a small staircase leading to a track. Turn left, slightly uphill in the forest and then you will be in the open with a great view of the South Corbières and the Pyrenees. A point of view with an orientation table will allow you to understand the landscape. At the crossroads of tracks in a clearing, turn right and carry downwards through a young cedar grove to a field. Again a viewpoint fitted with an orientation table: panorama over the Val de Dagne as far as the Montagne Noire. Return to the track and go down towards the village for about 2km until you reach the "ladder" leaning against the embankment. Opposite the ladder on the right, return along the path going down towards the village.

The Poetry Trail (Le sentier en poésie)

“Ici le temps va à pied” (Here time goes on foot) A real open-air museum dedicated to the writer Joseph Delteil in his native landscape. It's in the depths of the forest of Villar, where his father, "bouscassier", made the precious charcoal, that Joseph Delteil was born on the 20th of April 1894, at the place called "La Borie de Guillaman". In the heart of a path, once carter, between the oaks and the boxwoods, this old house was originally of a piece of work. It seemed natural to us to carry the writer's words forward in the footsteps of his childhood. Thus are born the "Poetry Trail", the path "à la Dame" and the small green theater. Signs: Yellow markings Departure from the sign of the poetry trail to the right of the bridge (parking lot) located at the entrance of the village of Villar-en-Val. Cross the bridge and take rue Joseph Delteil then first right rue de la Prade following the yellow markings. This will take you from the tarred road to the earth track where, in rainy weather, some sections can be difficult.  The first marker sets the atmosphere: “Ici le temps va à pied”(Here the time goes on foot)… “et ce n’est pas la peine de le rattraper” (and there is no need to catch it up). In the heart of a path, once a cart, between oaks and box trees, you will come to a fork on the road on your right: the return journey from the Path to the Lady. After a few minutes uphill with the brook on your left, you reach a ring-tossing game. Carry on your poetic journey on the main route. Arrive at the small green theatre, once made by the Scouts of Versailles under the direction of Mr Philippe FORCIOLI (author, composer and singer). Go down between the low foam walls, the view is clear over the Corbières. Crossing a small bridge and a sometimes wet ground.  Leave the forest to reach the circle of six panels and its weather vane. Then turn towards the farm and before the farm turn left down the hill. At the crossroads turn right and then right and left again at the tarred road. The signposting will take you past a farm building on the left, then in front of a Romanesque chapel full of charm on the way back up to the village.

The mills

Entre sous-bois, garrigue et vignes, arpentez cette jolie piste, avec en prime de beaux paysages. Markings : Yellow lines and orange windmill  Start in front of the cemetery. Go left, then first right. Steep climb (smallest front chainring and largest sprocket) on the small asphalt road. Next to the isolated holm oak on the roadside if you stop for a while, the sight will reward you for your efforts. On the right, the vineyards with behind, the plain of Carcassonne and in the background the Montagne Noire, foothills of the Massif Central. On the other side of the road: below, the D43 which enters the massif, with above on the left, "La Lagaste", an archaeological site located on the route of the ancient Roman road, which is in the process of being rehabilitated. This 2000 year old route linked Carcassonne to Spain via Rouffiac, Limoux, Bugarach and the St-Louis pass. Further to the right, on the summit, conifer plantations, exploited plots of oak trees (firewood). In the background the Madres Massif and the Ariege Pyrenees. On the roadside, the scent that reaches you is that of thyme. Variant*: the path goes over a ridge in the undergrowth and then crosses the garrigue. After the scrubland, overlooking the village of Montclar. In the forest on the left, the track that separates from the forest is part of the circuit « Circaète » (sports…) Take in the field on the right, the track that goes down where the ruts will ask you for a little more attention. Exceptional view on the vineyard. On the edge, pyramidal orchid, daisy, asphalt grass, broom. At the level of the first vines, fruit trees: cherry trees, fig trees, walnut trees, plum trees. The large trees below as well as the talus slopes are home to several varieties of birds: blackbirds, chickadees, nuthatches, red tails, red throats, jays, wrens, etc.. The brook that runs along the path benefits everyone: trees and birds.  Continue straight ahead. Steep climb (smallest front chainring and largest sprocket). Turn right at the village. Portion of road for 800m/0.5mi bordered by white mulberry trees, a variety of trees planted on the Mediterranean rim and also visible on Villeneuve and Montreal. At the cypress trees, turn right and go up into the vineyards. Go straight ahead between the broom massifs and descend. Just before the first vine, the abandoned field is invaded by St. John's wort (its name is given to it by the tiny holes that pierce its leaves).  Further down, almond trees line the path at the top of the slope. Turn left along the stream and follow it. On the river bank: walnut trees, lime trees, ash trees, willows, cherry trees.  Turn right. Pass in front of the lavoir decorated with flowers and cross the village. While the plane tree imposes itself in the southern villages, you will notice that the chestnut tree generously replaces it here. Arrival. ARBORETUM VARIANT: Go down to the left. In the shallows, the dampness of the ground will certainly keep the boar's footprints. Turned and scraped earth is also an indicator of their passage. At the ruin, take the path opposite. Very strong descent! If you are not used to this exercise, it is better to put your feet on the ground and walk the 100m/330ft bike by hand. Low point of the route: arboretum. Realised with the help of the school children, it will inform you about the names of the different existing species.  The waterfall (marked out) after the small bridge over the river, will give you a little freshness. Cross the bridge again and go up the path to the last pine trees that you go around to the right. This passage in undergrowth is certainly the most beautiful place of the circuit and offers an exceptional perspective. Turn left and go up the small steep path. You come out on the big path on which the circuit of the mill continues.

Signs: Yellow Markings From the parking lot at the foot of the castle, take the D60 (avenue de Villefloure) in the direction of Mas de Cours. Take the third street on the left, called chemin Mingaud (trail in common with the "Pierres et Vignes - Peiras e Vinas" trail, a path linking the City of Carcassonne to the abbey of  Saint-Hilaire). At the fork, go right and follow the path to the plateau at the top of the village. The itinerary turns right, past the olive grove and turns left. You will soon reach a fork in the road (sign). Walk along the path to the right, up along a vineyard and then to the left. Reach another fork in the path. Turn left towards a very wooded area (viewpoint with an observation post). Pass to the north of the “Mont des Justices”. Then go down for about 500m to reach a crossroads in the pines. Possibility of a shortcut by turning right (small loop of 2.5km) to join the main route passing south of Les Justices. On the left, the large loop goes down to a road; follow it on the left for 30m, then go down into the undergrowth on the left by a path along the “Toron” stream. At the exit of the wood, carry on this same path to a crossroads. Turn left in the direction of Leuc, also taking the path "Pierre et Vignes- Peiras e Vinas"trail. Always follow the same track between woods and vineyards and back to the olive grove, admire the Panorama during the whole descent.
