Path from la Vère to the Saint-Hussou

A very pleasant walk through centuries of history and typical Gaillac landscapes (vineyards, hillsides, valleys, riverside). Stop off at the Château du Cayla museum to enjoy the romantic atmosphere.

A number of streets and squares in the Gaillac area bear the name Hautpoul, in memory of General Comte d'Hautpoul, who grew up in the Château de Salette (commune of Cahuzac). He was present at all the Napoleonic battles and his actions led to decisive victories, such as at Austerlitz.
Vieux was a very ancient place of pilgrimage, the most important in the Albigeois region until the end of the 15th century, when the bishop of Albi decided to take the relics back to Albi cathedral. The imposing church remains.
1 km from the village is the menhir of Ste Carissime (or Peyre Levade).
Halfway along the route, take in the pastoral charm of the Château du Cayla, a 15th-century manor house and birthplace of the Romantic poets Maurice and Eugénie de Guérin.
