Explore Lisle-sur-tarn's hidden gems

Plains and hillsides, vineyards, umbrella pines and cypresses transform the medieval bastide town of Lisle-sur-Tarn into a city of Occitan Tuscany in the summer light and heat. Discover the history of this part of the Tarn by exploring its landscape. Lisle-sur-Tarn is the only bastide town on the plains of the Tarn with its own port. Trade (cereals, woad, wine, etc.) and cultural exchanges made possible by river traffic enriched the town until the 18th century. The arrival of the railway signalled the end of the gabares' reign. Lisle is also one of the most typical bastides in the south-west of France, with its chequered ilos, ‘les moulons’, its central square, ‘la carra’ with its covered walkways and the ‘pountets’, a covered passageway at high level allowing streets to be watched and safe passage from one ilot to another. Like all the towns and villages in the Tarn valley, the houses here are built in brick (ochre for unbaked brick, red for fired brick).

From the brick-red heart of the old bastide, the path leads up to the wooded hillsides. Along the way, the carefully tended landscapes of the Gaillacois vineyards reveal a fine palette of light and colour. The bastide queen: At the heart of the city, the square is the crossroads of all meetings. The streets that converge on it are often also decorated with arcades, covered passages under the houses in which shops open and markets are held. The square is at the centre of a geometric spindle-shaped, checkerboard or concentric building. The whole is still often protected by a wall. This is the bastide... In Albigensia, the bastide is king. Of a fascinating and abundant past. It still vibrates, perhaps for ever, to the Cathar, English and Huguenot rhythms. Its walls are polished, its brick has a patina and its wood is cracked. You look for it in Cahuzac-sur-Vère. But you enter it through the Hirissou gate in Puycelci, the Horloge gate in Cordes-sur-Ciel in Cordes-sur-Ciel, the Garrics in Castelnau-de-Montmiral, the Porte Neuve in Bruniquel. One calms down at the Larroque fountain. You weigh your grain at the Place des Mesures in Penne. And you can dance in Lisle-sur-Tarn, in one of the largest bastide squares in the South-West. White grape varieties not found elsewhere: The Gaillac winegrower has always taken care to select the grape varieties best suited to the terrain and exposure. Typical, specific and high in character, two Gaillac grape varieties, Mauzac and Len de l'el (Loin de l'oeil), stand out for their rarity. Mauzac excels in the construction of white wines. Its aromas are reminiscent of apples and pears for soft wines with low acidity. There are some real "marvels" in pure Mauzac. With a particular aptitude for making sparkling wines, this grape variety lives only in Gaillac and Limoux. Len de l'el ? Its bunch has a very long stalk which keeps the grape "away from the eye" (in viticulture, the eye is the bud). Its origin is remote. It exists only in Gaillac and produces a wine with a very fine floral or citrus aroma. Combined with Mauzac, it is fresh and supple.

This trail will guide you to discover the work and influence of the Gaillacois winegrowers on the territory. The views of the landscapes shaped by the cultivation of the vines reveal geometric perspectives and a beautiful palette of colours. Along the way, the buildings encountered also bear witness to their other skills as builders. The meeting of oceanic and Mediterranean climates, between humidity and heat, caressed by the Autan wind, the Gaillac vineyard develops on six terroirs, three of which are predominant, which structure it into three slopes of specific geological nature. The terraces of the left bank which run along the banks of the Tarn and whose soils are composed of pebbles, gravel, sand or boulbènes. The right bank slopes, facing south and dominating the entire Tarn valley, where the soils are mainly clay and limestone. The Cordes plateau, from Cahuzac-sur-Vère to the medieval town of Cordes-sur-Ciel, the Cordes plateau dominates the Vère valley. This terroir is characterised by white and stony soils. Between Albi and Toulouse, the Gaillac appellation is at the very heart of the Occitanie region. It is the oldest appellation in this region, which bases its history on its thousand-year-old roots, while resolutely turning towards the production of young, modern and appreciated wines. The wines of the appellation are made from traditional grape varieties, typical and full of character; Mauzac, loin de l'oeil and Ondec for the whites, Brocol (iron Servadoul), Duras and Prunelart for the reds. A land of bastides and vineyards, of rugby and gastronomy, dynamic and warm, full of conviviality and joie de vivre, the Gaillacois region is an unmissable tourist destination where wines have their place.

The water trail is located in Montans on the heights of the river Tarn, which will remain invisible to those who do not dare to venture into the undergrowth! The aquatic environment and varied vegetation attract a host of birds for you to observe. After following the hedgerows, vineyards and fields, head into the woods towards the Tarn. Listen to the lapping of a spring, the sound of the wind in the bamboo grove, and tread the ancient bridges of the towpath. Hidden beneath tons of silt brought down by the river and overgrown by vegetation, this little-known heritage will transport you back in time to the days when men navigated the Tarn!

The trail leaves the town of Rabastens to venture up the hillsides among the vines. Remains of the past, typical Gaillac dovecote... Magnificent view of the Salvagnac hillsides.

The Church of Saint-Martin de Mours, like a beacon, dominates the landscape and guides the walker, who will discover superb panoramic views of the Tarn valley and the Rabastin area along the way. In the Middle Ages, the church of Saint-Martin de Mours (known as d'amour) stood on a feudal mound. Attested as early as 1229, it was completely rebuilt in the 19th century and its history is closely linked to that of the people of this commune, like these two very pretty statues bought by the inhabitants after the First World War. One of the Virgin Mary, bought by the young women, and one of St Martin,bought by the young men. Today, a conservation association keeps the church in good repair, as is the case with many of these rural buildings that enrich the walker's route. Along the way, you'll discover a small winegrowing heritage (vineyard sheds, dovecotes).

The Tarn flows quietly between its clay banks. Brick colours the architecture of Rabastens. In the hills, the ploughing perpetuates the range of colours. Presence of bricks : In the Tarn plain, clay is everywhere. It is difficult to get out of it on wet days! But the clay smiles when it becomes a brick, when it becomes unique. Not by the quantity, it abounds! But by the fruit of the metamorphosis which allows it to be dressed in subtle colours for the best of regional architecture. Pink Toulouse but red Rabastens, Gaillac and Albi. Finally, red... Red spangled with a thousand white particles, faded red, dark red, loyal red... As an accomplice of the architectural imagination, brick knows how to be simple for the suburbs, refined for the private mansions of Castres and Albi. Nowadays, it has other attractions: healthiness and thermal capacity in particular.

Discover the Gaillac vineyards through this Œnorando. Conditions are favourable everywhere for growing vines. The climate is a perfect blend of oceanic and Mediterranean influences. Gaillac is also swept by the beneficial Autan wind, a drying wind that ensures extraordinarily healthy harvests for the winegrowers. Recognised as an AOC since 1938, the Gaillac vineyards are a bastion of ancient grape varieties. While winegrowers everywhere like to rediscover the old grape varieties that have sometimes been left aside, our vineyards are among those that have never broken with their history. Our grape varieties are our identity. Mauzac, Loin de l'œil and Ondenc for the whites, Braucol, Duras and Prunelart for the reds. The range of our wines is dazzling in its profiles and tastes, including fresh whites, reds and rosés, still and sparkling wines, dry and sweet wines, all united by the same grape varieties.

This urban trail offers the walker different aspects of the city and allows the evocation of the rich historical past of Gaillac. From Saint-Michel Abbey, the route descends towards the river to follow the banks of the Tarn, making the city seem far away! The Hortalisse district, with its maze of paths leading from garden to garden, tells the story of the market gardeners who, until the mid-20th century, supplied the surrounding markets. After crossing the historic town center, the trail heads towards the banks of the Thomas river (former ditches filled in and developed in the 19th century), to descend towards the Tarn and its ancient port, which was very prosperous until the advent of the railroads.

Maison départementale de la forêt de Sivens, 11 km northwest of Gaillac: access via the D 999 and the D 132. A biotic massif: In 1976, the Sivens forest massif was bought from the Houillères du Bassin du Centre et du Midi by the Department of Tarn. This 620-hectare estate became a hunting reserve in 1978. This animal and plant bonanza was recognised as a natural zone of ecological, faunistic and floristic interest (ZNIEFF). At Sivens, the intervener is keen to show the good side of his actions in an environment that he wants to be biotic. The forestry operation uses simple coppice, coppice under fir and regular fir. On the animal side, small carnivores are favoured and limit the rodent population. The variety of plants attests to the great diversity of ecological conditions in Sivens, whose atmosphere differs from the surrounding area.
