Signs: Yellow markings Pass in front of the towers and then on the panoramic terrace in front of the town hall. You have the choice between the stairs on the left or the path straight ahead, you will end up at the same point! Cross the small road, go down the stairs opposite then join the parking lot on the other side of the D4 down the village. Go in the direction of the bridge and pass over it. On the outside of the bend, a variant of about 1.2km aller-retour will give you a very nice view of the village and the Pyrenees. Taking the bend, cross the road and take a track on the edge of the woods towards the banks of the Lampy. Further on, at the level of the footbridge, it is advised to you in summer time to follow the small loop in undergrowth which is very pleasant! On the way back, cross the river by the footbridge and turn right towards the lake by going around it. Cross the D34 in order to follow a small road going up slowly. You will then alternate tarred and earthy sections to reach the heart of the village.

Follow the old path that used to link the village to the abbey of Villelongue. Signs: Yellow markings The trail follows the old path that linked the village to the abbey and starts at the top of the village near the towers and medieval garden, at the foot of the Carsac stone. Take the small paved road to the left of the sign showing the three footpaths of Saint-Martin-le-Vieil. At the fork, leave the path "sentier des Capitelles" on the left , and carry on straight ahead. At the level of the vineyards, a marker will direct you to a path separating the different plots of land. This one will lead you through the vineyards and then, in the undergrowth, on a slightly sandy earth path. After a short hour's walk (half of the circuit), we arrive on the part of the path overlooking the abbey. We can then see the abbey, majestic, in its bosky bower. A visit of the abbey and the splendid garden is a must. For those who wish, a variant will take you to an old lime kiln.To reach it, cross the small bridge over the "La Vernassonne" and just after the last building on the left, take the path that climbs gently upwards: count one-hour round trip but it is worth it ! The return trip promises to be very pleasant; to do so, take the track starting from the parking lot and go along the edge of the wood. Then at the crossroads, turn right, make a small effort before reaching the plateau. The wooded part will be very nice in summer. When you reach the paved road, continue and then take the track on the right and, a little further on, a track on your right. During the descent at 50m on your right stands a “capitelle” (dry-stone hut) with as always, the doorway to the south.  As soon as you discover it, you will recognize the village and its two towers of the feudal castle, announcing you the end of the hike.

The site is surrounded by the first tree-covered peaks of the Montagne Noire, with their shades of green. Built in 1667, Riquet's water reservoir was planted with ornamental trees in the 18th century. The first plantings stabilised the structure of the reservoir.

You're warmly invited to take advantage of this green canopy to relax, picnic or even snorkel! A seventeenth-century dyke, as well as a magnificent English-style park, a spray and waterfalls built in the nineteenth century, enhance the site.

In the background are the peaks of Canigou. The colours of the panorama change with the seasons, work in the fields and light. The point of view not to be missed for any passionate photographer!

Facing Montagne Noire, the ancient Saint Felix castle has dominated the edge of Lauragais plateau for more than seven centuries. Overlooking the plain, this castle has been destroyed, rebuilt, modified and enlarged over the centuries according to the wishes of its successive owners. You can enter the courtyard, terraces and ground floors of the castle. Let's see the superb mosaic room, the old kitchen in the dungeon, the guard tower, the lounges. One of them houses our Tourist Information Centre. Here, superb Louis XVI stucco adorns the panelling above the doors and the mirrors. Each salon has its own type of parquet flooring. The rooms are open to the public from April (from the Cocagne festival onwards) until the end of September. Afterwards, enjoy the panoramic view over the countryside (photos highly recommended) and stroll around the castle in the manner of the nobles. You can visit some parts of the castle during our Tourist Information Centre opening hours. Guided tours available by prior arrangement for groups.

In the heart of the village, the medieval market hall shines with its beams and belfry crowned with a statue of the Virgin Mary. Don't miss the weekly Friday market. In the centre of the castelnau, the hall was built in the 13th century. In 1557, the common house was built above the hall and was accessed through the tower that contains a beautiful stone staircase. It was erected to commemorate the erection of Saint-Félix as a barony by King Henri II (the date of foundation is engraved on the frontispiece of the front door with the city's coat of arms). In 1862, the population of Saint-Félix and the surrounding area was decimated by a cholera epidemic. The town decided to offer an ex-voto to the Virgin Mary in gratitude for her protection. This 3m-high bronze statue was installed on the belfry in the heart of the village. At her feet, a plaque with a Latin inscription says ‘they established me as the guardian of your city’.

The highlight of St-Félix-Lauragais. The Collegiate Church dates from 1317 and contains a magnificent organ from 1781, classified as a historical monument and completely restored. Built in the early 14th century, the collegiate church of Saint-Félix-Lauragais replaced the castle chapel as the parish church. Built on a rather small plot of land, it is 50m long, 26m wide and 19m high under the vault. The 42-metre-high bell tower reaches for the heavens. The architecture of the building is in the Southern Gothic style: a single nave, chapels between the buttresses, mitre arches on the levels of the bell tower, completed by decorative elements typical of Flamboyant Gothic (high-relief sculpture). The church of Saint-Félix became a collegiate church in 1317 during the pontificate of John XXII. This honorary title established a chapter of canons whose mission was to preach the Catholic faith during the Inquisition and in the aftermath of the crusade against the Albigensians/cathars. Saint-Félix had a little help from the Lord of the village, who was none other than the Pope's brother. One of the masterpieces of the Collegiate Church is without doubt the organ and its superb Louis XV case. The organ was built in the 18th century, between 1780 and 1781. It underwent an epic restoration! It was classified as a Historic Monument in 1967. The first restoration took place in 1930, so that the organ could play Romantic music! The restorers added keyboards therefore notes to the organ. So Déodat de Séverac was able to play his romantic compositions. In 1989, a restorer from the Monuments Historiques came to Saint-Félix-Lauragais and discovered this magnificent 18th-century organ, still in all its original materials. Many organs today are mechanised and modernised for greater convenience. The organ at Saint-Félix still has its large bellows made of rabbit skins, glued together with ‘fish bone’ glue. Depending on the outside temperature, the rabbit skins also had to be moistened with a cloth... The restorer was amazed, but soon realised that the organ had been modified! What an idea to add notes! So it was decided to remove them all! The organ was restored for the second time between 1990 and 1992, losing its romantic style but regaining its original appearance.

Taking advantage of the force of the wind blowing across Lauragais hillsides or the water flowing through the valleys, several mills have been built in our destination to grind grains from local crops or make textiles. Today, some mills are still part of our landscape, carefully preserved as witnesses to another era. Among the mills still standing, you can admire the following from the road: - Mourvilles-Hautes mill, a windmill and tower with two pairs of millstones, whose roof was restored in 1997. A second, more recent mill in front of the miller's house has a tiled roof. - Three mills in Le Vaux are located below the castle, a little further south. One of these mills is among the eldest in the area, dating back to the 16th century. - the windmills of Saint-Félix-Lauragais, located on the aptly-named ‘butte des trois moulins’, visible from the Rue des Nobles, the Moulin du Chapitre at the foot of the Montfort tower and the Moulin de la Croix (on the Route de Toulouse, next to the chemist's shop), which was given a state-of-the-art wooden roof in autumn 2024. - There are also mills along Sor stream between Revel and Durfort. These are private properties. Moulin du Chapitre and Moulin de l'Abbé offer bed and breakfast accommodation. - Durfort town council has created a heritage trail upstream from the village, along Sor. It is called ‘lo Camy des martinets’. Complete your discovery of the mills by reading our dedicated pages on the website. You can also take a look at our brochure of themed tours, which will take you on a tour of the little roads ‘Aux sources du canal du Midi’ in search of our hidden treasures.

The town of Revel was founded by the French King Philippe VI in 1342. This bastide is organised around a central square where the streets converge in a grid pattern. This square with its polychrome galleries and arcades of brick, wood and stone is a real setting for a splendid medieval market hall. The 14th century market hall is one of the largest in France. It is 39 m each side and is supported by 79 oak pillars. It is the heart Revel citizen life, especially on Saturday mornings when one of the 10 most beautiful markets in France takes place. Revel Belfry, neo-classical style, dates from 1834 replacing a half-timbered and bricks architecture. The belfry rings the bell for the whole town. The country guard and town crier lived there until 1965. It had several functions: watchtower, town clocks and bells, prison and town hall. These two intertwined buildings are subject to a major restoration campaign scheduled to run from late 2024 to spring 2026. Climbing up the belfry will no longer be possible. The roof will be re-tiled, fragile beams replaced, some pillars reinforced, the bell tower masonry restored. The dome covered with its original mateial: fish-scale slates. The clocks will be settled in their original height and the terrace cladding removed to reveal the terracotta floor tiles of it conceals. The terrace door will be returned to its original position. The interior of the tower will also be refurbished to provide the best possible conditions to welcome the public after the works. In the meantime, the Tourist Office will be moved to the Musée du Bois et de la Marqueterie.

The museum also hosts exhibitions showcasing contemporary creations. From tree to art.

Belvedere on the Lauragais, oppidum, hiking, free flights... Big and small walkers will fall under its charm. This site, inhabited from prehistoric times until the 13th century, is the witness of people who were living here. Here at the south side, natural cavities with large porches were used as houses. Then, from the Neolithic period until the conquest of the Gaul, communities have be able to grow here thanks to the strategic position and good natural defence positions. On the road to Berniquaut, you will meet the "Peiro Ficada" located on the edge of the ancient crest road. This megalith may have been used as marker or as landmark in different times. This vertical flagstone is sometimes called "La Pierre des Fusillés" because of 86 hemispherical hollows which look like bullet holes on the surface. There are many unanswered questions about this stone, espacially about the reason why people have made these hollows. It is likely that the monument was respected and honoured because they were hosting some supernatural beings.

Situated a rest area of the motorway service Port Lauragais, a hotel and a restaurant is a nice place to chill out, enjoy a boating port and tast a good dishes.
