Today’s rural world is very different from that of centuries past. Whilst agriculture remains the driving force and an indelible feature of the Piège hills, the people and practices have changed. Following in the footsteps of Bertrand, the grocer from Mirepoix, this interpretive trail offers a dialogue between rural life today and in the past. You’ll learn more about the ‘traditional’ trades that once kept the heart of the countryside beating and the agriculture that still shapes the landscape.

Departure from Bram (Aude)
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.

part2 of the "Les Collines du Vent" route:The exceptional views amply reward the effort of climbing the pechs (hills in Occitan). The Collines du Vent route then takes on its full spectacular dimension: the pechs are swept by winds blowing alternately from the Mediterranean (the autan or marin) and the Atlantic (cers). There are few trees on the hills, which also means that there is little shade in summer, so the sun beats down hard on the hills.
A spectacular and iconic 48.2 km online route in the Lauragais region, the "Collines du Vent" connects Avignonet-Lauragais and Fanjeaux. Numerous windmills are dotted across these first hills of La Piège, taking advantage of the generous winds that blow alternately from the Mediterranean (the Autan or marine wind) and the Atlantic (the Cers). The view stretches far beyond the hills to the Pyrenees and the Montagne Noire. Eleven information panels provide details about the area's heritage.
