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. At the bottom, at the crossroads of tracks, take the one on the right to reach the bridge. Then turn left on the small bridge for a return to the parking lot.

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)

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.
