This easy and pleasant path, in the form of a loop, marked white and red then yellow, will lead you near the Croix de Terride which marks the crossroads of several paths including one would be an old Roman road.
The château of Terride :
The Château de Terride was originally a feudal castle (constructed in the 10th century). Simon de Montfort seized it in 1209 during the crusade. The first settlement of Mirepoix was situated on the left bank on the same side as the fortress called at the time "de Mirapey" and it was only in 1563 that the castle took the name of Terride. This name comes from the Terride barony, given to jean de Lévis as a dowry by his wife. Independently of it's own strenght had immense strategic advantage, as it controlled the road which led from Castelnaudary to the market town of Mirepoix, and, from there to Foix.
The Croix of Terride :
The Croix de Terride marks the meeting of several paths that would not be an old Roman road going to the hamlet of Bize. The stone, slightly curved shape, would come from a keystone of the castle of Terride. "
