Discover Labastide-en-val, Aude, and its surrounding treasures

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.

“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.

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.
