Discover the Gaillac vineyards through this Œnorando. Some winegrowers have diversified into olive growing, sometimes even converting to it, simply because they are passionate about it or because the climate is changing for the worse. However, growing olives is not the same as growing vines. This is a major challenge, because while some wine-growing land may be suitable for olive cultivation, its long-term profitability remains subject to the risk of a water shortage or the severe frost still possible in our region. It's a challenge that a few people have decided to take up, betting on a quality market, the craze for short circuits, little local competition and the revival of a somewhat forgotten method of cultivation. The combination of trees and vines, known as agroforestry, is an ancient practice that has long shaped Mediterranean landscapes through the trilogy of olive trees, vines and wheat, and is still practised in some parts of Europe, where cherry trees, peach trees, almond trees and truffle oaks are still grown alongside vines. Trees limit climatic excesses, improve the soil and, by bringing water up from the depths to the surface, also improve water resources. They also create biodiversity, helping to combat pests by providing shelter for their natural enemies. Nearby vineyards: Domaine Gayrard Nearby olive grove : Domaine Rigaud

Nature and heritage lovers, this route is for you! After passing through Cordes with its exceptional architecture, the route heads towards the valleys where the views, the rural heritage and the variety of landscapes are of undeniable interest. The hiker will first walk through steep streets and 800 year old fortified gates. On the ground floor of sumptuous gothic houses, he will find many artists and craftsmen who, as in the past, live and keep the town alive. If you have time, it is advisable to escape the marked route to admire the panorama from the Place de la Bride or Les Remparts, to enter the Church of St Michel (open) or to admire the frescoes painted by Yves Brayer on the theme of the pilgrimage to St Jacques de Compostelle in the Capette (the former hospital of St Jacques, 15th century). Outside the walls of the village, the itinerary goes around the "puech de Mondagne" (name of the hill of Cordes) offering both a magnificent view of the city and a very interesting archaeological or rural heritage. From the bird-filled groves to the banks of the river Cérou, passing through the landscapes of the causse, the path is rich in contrasting natural environments.

Between the Massif Central and the Midi Toulousain, is a territory which maintains a close connection with nature. It is the reign of vertiginous panoramas, where the schist and granite plateaus and the limestone causses compete with the forests, gorges and rivers, while the perched villages, like lookouts, look up to the sky.

On the stony plateau, the old monks' path crosses a subtle landscape. Crops, groves, vines, paths and traditional buildings make up the harmonious and luminous assembly of a small-scale landscape. A monastic path: Clearing a formerly forested Tarn revealed not only rich land but also almost barren places called "èrm" (wasteland). Like Herm, near Mouysset. Who cleared the land? The monks, for the most part. The monastery of Hauterive (near Castres) was one of the first in Gaul to apply the rule of Saint Benoit. Although this rule recommended that monks should not "spread out into the open", they quickly deviated from it to gain land in the forest and cultivate it. The monks of the Abbey of Bonnecombe, in Rouergue, cultivated around their barn in Bernac (south of Castanet) and used, for six centuries, the famous "Chemin des Moines" to transport aniseed, cereals, coriander, pastel and saffron.

Exploring the 13 kilometres of this trail, you will walk along on the limestone rocky trails which run through small valleys adorned with the Souel-Livers’ plateaux cliffs. You will also discover its delicate vine landscape where the white stone brightens up the stunning local architecture. The other inspired hill : As an architectural tribute to the passing of time, Cordes sur Ciel holds an intense power of seduction that knows how to act on great minds. In 1908, Thomas E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) met it, forgotten: "An artist could (...) paint here for a year without repeating himself, and all his pictures would be beautiful: it is a dream city with also, in addition, a touch of nightmare". In 1954, Albert Camus noted: "one travels for years without really knowing what one is looking for (...) and one suddenly arrives in one of those (...) places which await each of us in this world. The traveller who, from the terrace of Cordes, looks out over the summer night, knows that he does not need to go any further, and that if he wants to, the beauty here (...) will take him away from all solitude".

Your steps will lead you towards Mouzieys-Panens and onto the limestone plateau which dominates the Cérou valley. Take advantage of this superb panorama by going to the point of Téroundel, before returning through the undergrowth of Lacapelle Ste Lucie and Védillerie. This itinerary passes through the old village of Mouzieys (formerly a guard village whose mission was to keep watch over the Cordes region), then through the hamlets of Lacapelle Ste-Lucie (drinking water fountain + information panel for hikers + picnic table) and La Védillerie. The chapel of Lacapelle, formerly attached to the village of the same name, is now private (except for the cemetery). It is on the edge of a small tarmac road that the hiker can take to return more quickly to his starting point (count 30 to 45mn); the view on Cordes is very beautiful from this small road. The descent into the wood between Védillerie and Nauze is quite steep and can be slippery in wet weather. This hike is very pleasant in spring, autumn and winter (clear view through the trees).

Bring the history of these fortified towns to life through their exceptional historical heritage, as if going on a journey through time. The GR 46 is about 80 kilometres long and takes you to the heart of the fortified medieval towns in the north-west of the Tarn, including Castelnau-de-Montmiral, Cordes and Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val. The views from the villages of Penne and Bruniquel, like impregnable citadels, are also not to be missed!

Early works, major portraits, paintings of brothels, prints from the world of entertainment, advertisements and later works are presented there, giving this museum an exceptional collection. Each stage of the production is represented, highlighting his gift for observation, his talent as a draughtsman and his quality for capturing significant detail. The route around the museum is enriched with information panels. To visit the museum is to meet the man, this native of Albi, of whom this city is so proud. The first rooms are devoted to his early works representing his family, his friends and his favourite theme: animals. Gradually the visitor is taken into the Parisian world: the brothels, especially the world of entertainment and the circus. Room after room, we follow the evolution of this unusual artist.

Jean-François de Galaup de Lapérouse was a native of Albi, born in 1741 in the Gô Manor House. Louis XVI, France's king at this time, appreciated the human qualities and the seafaring talents of the young naval Captain. He was entrusted with the greatest expedition of Louis XVI's reign, being given 2 ships called the Boussole ("the compass") and the Astrolabe. 225 men, sailors, scientists and artists left Brest in 1785, sailing to Brazil, Chile, California, Alaska, Russia, China, Australia ... and ran aground in Vanikoro (Solomon Islands) in the Pacific in 1788. During this trip, he carried out precise and valuable work on cartography and scientific research.

Once a former Bishops' Palace, the Berbie Palace and the Sainte-Cécile Cathedral form a striking and unique collection in the Episcopal City, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2010. It is the prestigious jewel of the Toulouse-Lautrec museum, with an international reputation. Built during the 13th century, the Berbie Palace is one of the oldest castles in France, older than the famous Popes' Palace in Avignon. The Palace of the Bishops of Albi or Berbie Palace (an Occitan word meaning bishop) was built on a naturally fortified site, overlooking the Tarn. Its military architecture affirms the power of the bishops against the consuls of the city. Over the centuries, the bishops transformed it into a leisure residence. Classified as a historic monument in 1862, it is one of the best preserved episcopal palaces in France. In the main courtyard, flanked by two towers, one now arrives at the entrance to the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum. A visit to the palace is closely linked to the discovery of the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum: vaulted medieval rooms, pavements from the Middle-Ages, painted ceilings, chapel, gardens, renaissance gallery, large salons ... all of these in one building! We recommend allowing 2 hours to fully appreciate the Berbie Palace and Toulouse-Lautrec Museum.
