Abbaye Sainte-Marie de Villelongue (Saint-Martin-le-Vieil) walks

Starting from the Circulade in Bram (a lovely warm-up ride through this unique and well-preserved heritage site), this route follows the path of an old railway line that once linked Bram to Mirepoix and Lavelanet, passing through the charming countryside of the Razès. The section between Bram and Mirepoix is fairly easy for all types of bike (a hybrid bike is best suited), and its high-quality surface is fairly new. However, thesecond section from Moulin Neuf to Lavelanet, which is older, is best tackled on a mountain bike.

This walk allows you to discover the village of Montréal with its collegiate church, narrow old streets and green, rolling countryside.

Part3 of the ‘Les Collines du Vent’ route: A heritage-themed stage on the Collines du Vent featuring two fairly well-preserved medieval villages: Mireval-Lauragais and Laurac. And, as always, spectacular paths opening out onto a rolling landscape of countryside and hills covered in fields and pastures. A spectacular and iconic online route through the Lauragais region, stretching 48.2 km, the “Collines du Vent” links Avignonet-Lauragais and Fanjeaux. Dotted across these first hills of the Piège are numerous windmills, making the most of the generous winds that blow alternately from the Mediterranean (the autan or marin) and the Atlantic (the cers). The view stretches far beyond the hills, towards the Pyrenees and the Montagne Noire. Eleven information boards provide details about the local heritage. Yellow and blue signposting
