Circuit that takes you from the fortified village of Flaugnac to the opposite side, discovering viewpoints over two valleys while walking through a small and varied heritage.
Flaugnac, perched on a promontory offering a natural defence, is one of these castle towns built in the XNUMXth century. At the time, it looked like a fort – the castrum – surrounded by walls and cut off from the rest of the village by a drawbridge.
