Description

The tour offers a glimpse of 10th-century seigneuries such as Louvigny. This viscounty included 11 parishes (Beyrie, Mialos, Malaussanne, Fichous...). At Lou Castet (500 m from the start of the hike), the motte may be the site of the Louvigny lord's fortified castle. It has since been used as a quarry. The old church, destroyed in 1955, could also have been part of this site.
