Oreilles en balade à Montsalès - Balade sonore
With headphones on, let yourself be guided by the stories told and lived by the inhabitants of the village. For everyone, alone or with the family. One version for children, one for adults. Free of charge. Duration adaptable from 15 min to 2 hours.
We recommend that you start your visit at the cemetery, as this will give you a better understanding of the village, and you'll look at the facades of the houses differently when you learn that the castle was demolished during the Revolution....
Then get back in your car and stop off at the Brignolles wash-house. A dreamy place that will come alive in your ears for 3 minutes... Your children will learn the difference between trempadou and lavadou!
Then take the car and park in the center of Montsalès, in front of the tower, the last vestige of the castle. The tower may be open for an exhibition... make the most of it. By listening to the audio document, you'll learn why the municipality has turned this place into an art gallery.
A few metres further on, the church. Here, adults can listen to the recollections of a communicant and children can discover all sorts of sins!
Continue on foot through the village, and on the left you'll see a path leading to the Flancou washhouse. It's a lovely, cool walk through the woods...
And if you're still too hot, take the car and go and pray to Sainte Marguerite! The old-timers will tell you how the rain came.
There are six stops along the way. At each listening point, signposts tell you where to stop. The listening points are independent, so you're free to choose the order and number of stops. You can also choose to move from one village to another, focusing on themes such as water, religion, bastides, sauvetés and castrums...
To access the sound tags, simply scan the QR codes on the signs.
Maps and GPS charts are available on the website.
