Oreilles en balade à Montsalès – Balade sonore

With headphones on, let yourself be guided by the stories told and experienced by the inhabitants of the village. For everyone, alone or with family. A child version, an adult version. Free. Duration adaptable from 15 min to 2 hours.

We advise you to start your visit at the cemetery, so you will understand the village better, you will look at the facades of the houses differently when you know that the castle was demolished during the revolution.... 

Then get back in your car and stop at the Brignolles wash house. A dream place that will come alive for 3 minutes in your ears... Your children will learn the difference between trempadou and lavadou!

Then take the car back to 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... above all, take advantage of it. By listening to the audio document, you will learn why the municipality has transformed this place into an art gallery.

A few meters further, the church. There, the adults will listen to the memories of a communicant and the children will discover all kinds of sins!

Continue on foot, in the village, on the left a path will be indicated to you, it leads to the Flancou washhouse, a very nice walk in the woods, freshness...

And if you're still too hot, take the car and go pray to Saint Margaret! The elders will tell you how the rain was brought.

The routes include six stops. At each listening point, a sign will indicate where to stop. The listening points are independent, you are free to choose the order and the numbers of listening. You can also choose to move from one village to another by focusing on a theme such as water, religion, bastides, rescues and castrums...

To access the sound tags, flash the QR codes on the signage. You can also borrow an audioguide from the Town Hall. Remember to book them on 05 65 81 56 03 or 06 35 95 16 42.
