Discover Camping Le Cathare and Belflou Surroundings

Perched on its mound, Montaut offers you a magnificent view of the immense alluvial plains of the Ariège and its 15th century church. On your descent, you will surely appreciate the extraordinary view of the majestic Pyrenean chain.

This family walk takes the shady paths of the slopes of Mirepoix. From the Croix of Terride the view extends from the bastide to the massif of Tabe and to Bastonis where is a breeding of deer. You can see these magnificent animals closely with a little discretion and a lot of luck.

This easy and pleasant path, in the form of a loop, marked white and red then yellow, will lead you near the Croix de Terride which marks the crossroads of several paths including one would be an old Roman road.

This loop from Mirepoix will take you quietly to the village of Besset. A family ride from Mirepoix to Besset on a beautiful hilly course.

Leaving the greenway next to the Super U store, you will join a path along the woods and a stream in a loop that will take you to the ruins of Quié, a former hamlet demolished.

For experienced mountain bikers, this tour will take you through the Terrefort region where you will ride through valleys and hillsides. Whatever the season, it will offer you breathtaking landscapes and views.

This trail goes down from the village into the Lampy valley, discovering the river and the leisure lake. 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.

After parking in the parking lot of the town hall of St-Julien, walk on a path between two hills before starting the climb leading you to the Pic d'Estelle, from where you will have a magnificent view of the Pyrenees.

Lagarde is an ancient walled village founded at the beginning of the XIVth century by the overlord of Mirepoix. For more than half a millenium, the primitive fortified castle underwent numerous transformations. With the severity of a medieval fortress, the charm of a renaissance castle and the magnificence of a XVIIth century palace, the home of the Mirepoix Lévis reflects in its imposing ruins the evolution of high quality achitecture through the ages. Lagarde and its castle remained at the very heart of Mirepoix's seigniory up until the Revolution.

A real architectural feat, the Vauban vault plays an essential role in transporting water to Lake Saint-Ferréol and the Canal du Midi. Pierre-Paul Riquet, having understood that only the capture of the waters of the Montagne Noire would allow his future canal to cross the highest point of the Naurouze threshold at 189m, had two feeder channels built: the Rigole de la Montagne and the Rigole de la Plaine. The Rigole de la Montagne leads to Les Cammazes. Beginning its journey at the Prise d'Alzeau, the Rigole de la Montagne criss-crosses the forest to Le Conquet in the initial construction of Riquet. It was Vauban who a few years later had the Rigole de la Montagne continued as far as Les Cammazes and had the 123m long aqueduct drilled, allowing the Rigole to flow into the Laudot to reach Lake Saint-Ferréol. The must-see: dare to walk along the Rigole de la Montagne while passing under the vault. Flashlight required and thrills guaranteed!
