This self-guided walk reveals the history of Lacaune through its remarkable heritage:
- the Fontaine des Pisseurs, listed as a Historic Monument since 1913,
- Notre-Dame de Lacaune Church (17th century),
- the village washhouses, including the one whose basins were installed in the 19th century beneath 16th-century arches.
Along the way, you’ll discover the Granisse statue-menhir, a female sandstone figure dating from the late Neolithic period (around 3000 BC).
Stroll across the former square where the donkey fair once took place, admire the Renaissance façade of the birthplace of Lieutenant Colonel Bouisset, author of “La Galette”, still sung at Saint-Cyr.
You’ll also pass the former Caserne des Dragons, enjoy a fine viewpoint over the town, and then see the Croix de Peyrehuc, recalling a tragic episode of the Albigensian Crusade.
The walk continues to the Filature Ramond (1841), a major local textile heritage site.
Further on, discover the Fontaine de la Vierge, whose pedestal holds a sealed bottle listing the names of residents who financed its restoration in the late 19th century.
The trail finishes near Notre-Dame Church in the heart of Lacaune.
