The Quiersboutou

An elevated and slightly sporty trail climbing the slopes of the valley, that creeps under the chestnut trees and winds on the slaty ridges. At the top of the Quiersboutou at 837 m/2750ft, there is a beautiful panoramic view over the hamlets of Castans, the Minervois and the Pyrenees Signs: Yellow Take the road along the top of the cemetery, pass the  (gite) and the lavoir and go through the hamlet up to the last house on the right. Go down an alley on the right between houses and gardens. It turns into a path and leads down to the houses of the Moulin de Bru. Turn left, cross the bridge, turn left again for 20m/65ft and leave the road to the right for a small path that climbs between heather and reaches a track. Take it to the left and join the D 9 at the hamlet of Escandelle. Take the road to the right and leave it, just after the bend, for an alley between the houses which, after two bends, becomes a path. The latter also has two bends and climbs gently up to the chestnut trees, then crosses the Triby stream, makes a zigzag and continues to a track. Cross it and walk up along the fence of the telephone relay on 15m/50ft. Leave the path just before the old wild pear tree and turn right on the ridge path, between ferns, broom and rocks up to the top of Quiersboutou where a large cairn (heap of stones) stands. Go downhill, off the path, following the cairns and the markings on the ground. Pass under the power line and reach a pass above the hamlet of Serremijeanne. Cross a grassy path with few marks and 50m/165ft further on, spot on the right a slope which goes down while sneaking in the middle of broom. Follow it through the chestnut groves until you reach a dirt track, which you follow on the right for 50m/165ft and then turn left onto the tarred road going down to the hamlet of Thérondel-Bas. Go down on the left along the house and reach the river. Cross the bridge and go up opposite. At the end of the road, turn right for 50m/165ft only. Leave the track on the left for a path that climbs quickly with a steep slope. It reaches the D 189. Take the last steep path opposite up to the tarred road of the hamlet of Bourdials. Follow it on the right, at the end of the asphalt continue straight ahead by the path in undergrowth; it passes under the hamlet of Raissac and leads to the D 9. Turn right onto 50m/165ft then left the path going up to the parking lot of Cayac.

The streams - Les Ruisseaux

Castans, village of the Montagne Noire, is perched at the top of the Clamoux valley, where it spreads out in hamlets clinging to its flanks. As its name suggests, it is the land of the chestnut tree. It is a village nestled in the vegetation with dry stone walls, bridges, terraces and chestnut groves. Signs: Yellow markings Departure from the Cayac parking lot in Laviale (Castans). Go up by the tarred road. At the first junction, go down on the right by the stairs, then turn left. We go up gently in the undergrowth. At the top, under an overhanging house, turn right until you reach the Cloutels stream. Cross it by a bridge made of two imposing stones and turn right at the first junction, then left at the second. At the next junction (La Goussatiéro), follow the path that gently descends towards La Clamoux to where it receives the stream of Aiguebelle. Cross the river by a wooden footbridge and go up opposite to the track. Turn right for 300m. Leave it on the right for a path that goes down, passes the ruins of Perga-Bas and joins the Réalpo stream. Cross the stone bridge and carry on for 800m, then take a small path on the right which descends for 100m and goes up on the left to Quintaine. In the hamlet, turn right onto a paved path that runs down along a garden, crosses the road and continues to Lafargue. Take the road on the left to cross the hamlet and cross the river. Go up on the other bank, cross the road and climb up in front of the chapel. Continue on the grassy path that joins the road. Take it on the right and cross the hamlet of Laviale passing in front of the fountain-lavoir and its strange calvary, then up past the town hall. After the inn, go up to the right to find the parking lot.

The Panoramas

Forest trails gently wind their way to the highest point of the Montagne Noire, the Pic de Nore (1,211 m), recognizable by its red-and-white television relay tower and well known for its harsh climate. A few beech trees and heather-covered moorland—the only plants capable of withstanding the cold, fog, and wind...  Yellow and Green Trail Markers  Head up the paved road for 400 meters. At the fork, take the forest road to the left until you reach a wide trail 2 km further on.  Follow it to the right for 3.3 km along long switchbacks, winding through rocks and coniferous trees. At the intersection with another trail, turn left toward the D 87.  Follow it to the right for 200 meters, then leave it on the right to take a rutted firebreak that climbs through the heather.  At Pic de Nore, the viewpoint is 50 meters to the left of the trail. To head back down, follow the road to Carcassonne (sign for “Z.A. de loisirs”) for 600 meters.  Stay on the right shoulder of the road to find the path that branches off to the right into a pasture.  Take this path, which curves widely for 300 meters; at the intersection, turn left and then veer right, staying along the edge of a woods for 1 km. Then head straight down through the woods.  Look for a large clearing on the left used by foresters for maneuvering. 50 meters further down, leave the path and turn right at a right angle onto a slightly ascending path through the beech trees.  When you reach the open area, 1 km further on, continue straight ahead until you come to a trail. Take it to the left.  The trail climbs until it passes by the Roc de Nouret, which lies dormant to the right of the path. Descend for 2 km along the rocky path that runs alongside the forest. Continue downhill until you reach a stone cross.  Turn left onto the sunken path lined with standing stones, which passes by ice houses and leads to the RD 87.  Take the paved road straight ahead that enters the village of Pradelles and reaches the church square (featuring a beautiful octagonal rock).  Leave the square via the stairs and descend to the D112. Take the path directly ahead that leads to the lake (refreshment stand in summer, 100 meters to the right).  Continue along the path, then turn left onto a lane lined with a row of conifers. Continue to a small concrete bridge.  Cross the bridge, cross a trail (ice houses 100 meters to the left), and reach the D 1009. Take the road to the left for 100 meters.  At the intersection, turn into a pasture directly across the road, then head down through the woods in a wide zigzag until you reach the Mulet Stream.  Cross the wooden footbridge and continue along the path to the D 9. Follow the road to the left, passing through the hamlets of Bourdials and Raissac, to return to the Cayac parking lot.
