Oreilles en balade en voiture "Le circuit entre bastides, sauvetés et castrum"
A sound circuit around the bastides, rescued, castrums. With a helmet on your ears, go for a day of discovery with Oreilles en Balade.
To access the sound tags, simply scan the QR codes on the signage or download the sounds before your visit at www.oreillesenbalade.eu.
Start out on a small road in Lugan (cf. gps point 44.24343, 2.36881) with a view of Sauveterre-de-Rouergue, which will help you understand why and how this royal bastide developed. A ceramic orientation table will guide your gaze. On this table, the QR code for the Rieupeyroux chapel will tell you all about the history of Ségala.
Then it's on to La Salvetat-Peyralès and Château de Peyroles. This is where Lord Ischanfrede shone. His name is also associated with the creation of Rieupeyroux.
Continue on to La Bastide l'Evêque. Listen to the information on the church (signposted at the corner of the physiotherapist's surgery, opposite the town hall) and note its uncanny resemblance to the collegiate church in Villefranche-de-Rouergue.
Take your car back to Sainte-Croix. Stop off at Villefranche-de-Rouergue to visit the collegiate church. In Sainte-Croix, the sound point is the church.
Then drive to Montsalès, where your tour ends with two listening points, one at the cemetery, site of the old village, and the other at the tower. Check out the opening hours: the tower is now an exhibition space!
The tour is free, and you can choose to do only part of it.
