DISCOVER EMBLEMATIC PLACES OF OUR DEPARTMENT LIKE
CASTELNAU-DE-MONTMIRAL, THE MOUNTAIN FROM WHICH WE LOOK

From our campsite in the Tarn, le Soleil des Bastides, you are ideally situated to visit Castelnau-de-Montmiral. The name of the village comes from the Occitan language and means "the mountain from which one looks" (mont and mirar: to look). The bastide offers a magnificent view on the surrounding landscape.

INESCAPABLE :
LA BASTIDE

Castelnau-de-Montmiral is a village located 11 minutes from the Soleil des Bastides campsite and 32 minutes from Albi. This bastide was created in 1222 by Raymond VII of Toulouse. You will appreciate its medieval half-timbered houses and the Place des Arcades. In the middle of this square, there is a pillory. Animals were tied up there before their sacrifice, but also thieves... Leaving the town centre, you can stop in front of the doors of the old ramparts:

  • the Garrics gate
  • the Toulze gate.

The promontory of Pechmiral, a former procession site, is overlooked by a statue of the Virgin. The view from this site is the origin of the village's name

FOCUS
CASTELNAU-DE-MONTMIRAL, DISCOVERING THE NATURE CLOSE TO OUR FAMILY CAMPSITE NEAR ALBI

For those who love nature, Castelnau-de-Montmiral is located near the forest of Grésigne. It is a forest where dolmens of the Bronze Age are hidden. You can walk there quietly because it is bordered by the GR 46 hiking trail.

You want an unusual visit of the forest? From mid-September to mid-October, you will go at night to try to hear the stag's bellow.

Several bike rides, including one starting from the forest, are proposed as well as other circuits. For more information, you can go to the tourist office.
