Discover Montricoux: A Blend of Nature and History

Starting from Penne, a varied and fun circuit. Sumptuous panoramas.

Short circuit but intense climb. Descent half road, half technical trail.

This Major Hiking route, with a distance of around 34 kilometres, allows you to cross through the villages of: Penne, Vaour, Roussayrolles, Marnaves and Cordes-sur-ciel. A full immersion in nature and culture guaranteed! This route takes you through villages with evocative names: Penne and its castle standing on its rocky spur, Vaour, its dolmen and its commandery, seat of the Knights Templar and Hospitallers, Roussayrolles and its "Mère Dieu" spring fountain, Marnaves and its Roquereine castle which dominates the Cordes region, and Cordes-sur-ciel, a medieval town, a high place of heritage due to its exceptional site and its remarkable architectural heritage Nature and culture guaranteed!

In a natural setting sculpted by Aveyron, Penne’s unique village-style architecture, built into the rock, is in harmony with its surroundings: a limestone cliff backdrop. Castle and village combined: Around 560, the castle of Penne was built at the behest of Frédégonde, wife of Chilpéric I, king of Neustria, a woman who would stop at nothing to hold power. Thus she made Chilperic's first wife and his two sons disappear. Her rivalry with Brunehaut, Queen of Austrasia, is famous. War ravaged their states and Brunehaut died on the orders of Clotaire II, son of Frédégonde. Modernised and enlarged, the castle of Penne sheltered Cathars in the 13th century. One hundred years later, the English occupied it for more than thirty years. Finally, the Protestants dismantled it in 1586... Under Henry IV, the stones were used to rebuild the village, which now merges with the castle. Both enrich a site that has become quite unusual.

Close to the Grésigne forest, the Mespel path follows the shapes of the arid hills and allows you to discover the diversity that makes this region so rich. Natura 2000 area. After leaving the Vère valley, the rock shelters at Larroque surprise hikers and give them access to the Mespel limestone plateau with its holm oaks, filaria and pistachio trees. From the path, hikers have a view of the medieval village of Puycelsi. Larroque offers a shady and picturesque stop-off in a green setting, beside the river, at the foot of a pink limestone cliff with natural caves. It's on the path that the old Puycelsiens (inhabitants of Puycelsi) used to visit the Roucanels (inhabitants of Larroque) that the hiker sets off. Views of the Grésigne national forest and the 13th-century Notre-Dame des Bois chapel (20-minute round trip from Mespel). Legend has it that on two occasions the materials used to build the chapel in the hamlet were found in its present location.

The best around Penne in one tour.

Puycelsi is like an outpost of the Quercy Causses. The crossing of the village reveals architectural treasures. The route is dedicated to the cause of plants, from the Conservatory orchard to the ancestral vaults of the Grésigne oak groves. The great forest of Grésigne: Spread over 3526 hectares, the Grésigne forest remains today the most important forest of the Tarn and the largest oak forest (60% sessile oak, 15% pedunculate oak) of the south of France... Because no one has failed to exploit it extensively over the centuries. Its use in regulated felling dates back to François I, who authorised the felling of 150 trees per year to transform them into staves for barrels. In the 17th century, Jean-Baptiste Colbert had it used for the framework of Louis XIV's ships. The glassmakers threw it ashore to fuel their furnaces and make a fine, bluish glass whose formula was lost. The charcoal burners cut the wood to produce charcoal, and the local residents used it for heating.

Facing the ramparts of Puycelsi, an orchard unlike any other welcomes and carefully preserves the most hardy species of fruit and vines... A true genetic reservoir and precious guardian of forgotten flavours. The conservatory of ancient fruit species and vines: They were known in the past and the countryside was full of them in their orchards, but today, a certain number of fruit and vine varieties are disappearing. This is why the Department of the Tarn created the conservatory in 1986. The actions carried out aim to implement the environmental policy linked to the preservation of biological diversity and are part of a sustainable development approach. The collection plots, installed on 6 ha, house varieties of apple trees, pear trees, plum trees, cherry trees, peach trees and old local and regional vines that are under threat. Currently, more than 800 fruit tree introductions and 102 varieties for a total of 4,000 trees and 550 vines are planted. The conservatory's mission is to safeguard this biological heritage, to identify it, to evaluate it and to develop it on an educational, economic and scientific level.

In the shade of hundred-year-old oaks, the Grésigne national forest will give your walk a special flavour. Take advantage of the beautiful combinations of colours and the coolness of the forest in hot weather! The Grésigne state forest is the largest in the Tarn and one of the largest oak forests in Europe. It is the third richest forest in Europe in terms of insects, with 2,400 distinct families, after the Fontainebleau massif and the Bialoweja reserve in Poland. This entomological wealth was also the reason why the forest was classified as a Natura 2000 site in 2007. Special management measures are applied in the forest to preserve this particularity: by conserving old trees and increasing the amount of dead wood left on the ground.

Small Italian theater with 550 seats, nestled in the heart of the city ... A first room preceded the current building, the city having built in 1792 a space until then dedicated to the game of palm to turn it into a theater. In the face of popular success, it soon proved too small. The architect Fragneau was then commissioned to rebuild it: he endowed the new building with a neoclassical facade all brick, crowned with a large triangular pediment. The capacity of the new hall, opened in 1849, was 528 spectators spread over four levels. Access was then through the rue de la Comedie, inconvenient because narrow. This situation will last until 1931. Thanks to the subsidies paid by the City of Paris to rebuild Montauban after the terrible floods of March 1930, a new facade was built, opening on the place Lefranc de Pompignan built in the late nineteenth century . The architects Jannin and Olivier composed a monumental entrance showing the elements of the Place Nationale (brick, semicircular arches, pilasters with projections, mirandes) and enhanced by four bas-reliefs by the sculptor André Abbal: La Musique, La Danse, La Comédie and Poetry.

The Ingres museum showcases two illustrious Montalbanese: Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and Antoine Bourdelle . This brick building, overlooking the river, is Ingres Bourdelle museum an emblematic place of Montauban. Practical information: health pass compulsory from 03.08.2021 Housed in the old episcopal palace, the Montauban museum was created in 1820. But it was in 1867, upon the death of Ingres, that the establishment took on its identity and its development: the museum then inherited all of the studio works of the famous Montalbanian painter and took the name of Ingres Museum. Enlarged, modernized, digitalized ... the museum is today spread over 2,700 m2 with new spaces, enhanced accessibility, a new museography, a sumptuous conservation cabinet housing Ingres ' drawings, an entire floor dedicated to the Bourdelle's work, magnificent rooms for temporary exhibitions, a tea room / boutique / bookshop ...
