Circuit des plateaux et des moulins

Up hill and down dale, this round walk takes you to see some fine houses once belonging to wealthy farmers, and some watermills. After admiring Castelnau-Montratier's windmills, you'll walk through unspoiled, verdant countryside. A mediaeval "new town", the bastide of Castelnau-Montratier, the starting point of the walk, is laid out around a large central square bordered by arcades, with straight, parallel streets leading from it. The Romano-Byzantine church, built in 1907 and consecrated in 1921, stands at a distance from the central square. Three fine windmills standing proudly at the entrance to the bastide bear witness to its rich and prosperous past.
