Le Salas hike

Description

Time 2 hours - Distance 6 km
Strolling through the oldest part of Brassac, a medieval village and along the banks of the Agout river, this walk takes you quickly into the countryside.

GPS parking : 43.62882, 2.49675

The Agout river, emerging from a steep gorge, meanders into a vast basin. In the Middle Ages, it separated the castles of the lordships of Castelnau (right bank) and Belfortès (left bank). This river carried away the bodies of the belligerents during the struggles between Protestants and Catholics in the 16th century. It operated the fulling mills (paradors) which pressed the woolen cloths to give them their consistent texture. In the 17th century Brassac was already producing the best quality, called cordelats. Brassac was developing thanks to the energy of its river and its men.

Brassac-sur-Agout, not just a village!

A tourist trail takes you through 10 remarkable sites, offering a glimpse into the history of this charming medieval village (the old bridge, the two castles, the Marquise garden, etc).A leaflet, available from the Tourist Information Office in Brassac and from the town hall, will take you along the narrow streets on both banks of the River Agout. At each stop, you'll be able to admire the present and glimpse the past of this medieval village, with the help of a number of panels throughout your visit. This village will win you over first and foremost with its castles and its old 12th-century bridge, one of two in the département to be listed as a historic monument. But it's the spirit of Brassac that will make you want to linger. Whether you're a sportsman or just a fan of the 3rd half, the village spirit is ingrained in our genes. Here, everything is a pretext for a moment of conviviality. And before you leave, don't miss a visit to the basket gallery or the Jaël de Romano cultural centre. Get off the beaten track! Get on your bikes and explore the many downhill, enduro, cross-country and lake route circuits. There's something for every taste and level. This is where the X Cross takes place, the benchmark event on the international mountain bike calendar. The countryside around Brassac is also a great playground for fishing and canoeing. The Brassac festivals are a must! At the beginning of August, come and immerse yourself in the conviviality and good humour for 5 days!
