Aurignac Tower and Rhodes Shelter
A varied route, starting from Aurignac, which winds its way through the hills surrounding the town, offering beautiful views of the town and the keep of the count's castle, as well as panoramic views of the Pyrenees (orientation table)... Best enjoyed on a clear day!
The walk passes by the prehistoric shelter of Aurignac ("Rhodes Cave"), which was discovered in 1852 and gave its name to the corresponding period (35,000 - 26,000 BC). Information panels on site.
The route takes you along some pleasant, well-maintained forest paths; chestnuts can be picked depending on the season.
Grand tour of the Lauragais hillsides from Castanet
A pleasant circular starting from the centre of Castanet-Tolosan, which partly follows the GR®653, the route from Arles to Compostela, and allows you to discover the peace and nature of the Lauragais hills. In good weather, the view of the Pyrenees from the Rebigue orientation table is magnificent. Beautiful views of the countryside and Toulouse at the end of the route.There is little tarmac outside the urban area at the start and finish.There is a variant (7) which shortens the hike by 3 km (10.5 km, 3 hours): see description in the Practical Information section
