Lamillarié walks

The Dels Galloromans trail begins in the village of Lamillarié. The name of this hike comes from its rich Gallo-Roman past. The Roman road that came from Albi and followed the ridges to Castres gives us an insight into the wealth of yesterday. Several sites have been discovered in this countryside, from where you can see the Pic du Caylou and the Montagne Noire in the distance.

The trail starts in the village of Lombers. The history of this village dates back to between 1165 and 1633. Its origins can be traced back to Celtic or Gallo-Roman times.

It then joins the Albi-Castres greenway. Trail of community interest created by the Centre Tarn Tourist Office. See § Practical information.
