Sentier de l'imaginaire : d'Histoire en histoires
A small walk that makes you discover the small medieval city of Mur-de-Barrez!
From history to stories: in the 13th century, Mur-de-Barrez was a prosperous town, with its castle, its houses nestling under the rocks, its craftsmen and their beautiful stalls!
This trail takes you on a tour of the historic center, steeped in history, with wrought-iron coats-of-arms to explain the most emblematic buildings, and a few surprises to punctuate your stroll.
What's new?
A portrait gallery of the Viscounts and Viscountesses of Carladez, including François I and Queen Margot. A Viscounty handed down through the centuries, a small part of France's great history. Proof of the rich history of this little corner of the Massif Central, then on the trade routes, whose built heritage bears witness to this (discover the secret passage des consuls!).
An illustrated history of the village at the top of the castle esplanade (at the top of the wooden "fortress").
