Heritage Trail "In the Footsteps of Wurzel"

Between legends and local stories, let yourself be guided by Wurzel, a little woodland elf capable of traveling through time. During an easy family walk, he will reveal the history of his territory.
Located at the entrance to the valley, at the crossroads of important communication routes, these lands have always been highly contested.
A route with superb panoramas where you will discover the castle of the Viscounts of Castex, the Saint-Gilles hill and the beautiful village of Saint-Pierre-Bois with the Swedish house.
