Specialities
Lagrasse is famed for its Abbey, Medieval houses and streets, book and pottery fairs over the Summer months, and a lovely 12th century hump backed bridge.
It is good place to explore anytime of the year and has a number of good restaurants.
Art from all over France is included in the stunning Sentier Sculpturel in Mayronnes, Corbieres.
Mayronne(s) is a hamlet in the Corbieres hills, near Lagrasse. It hosts a stunning free sculpture trail 5km (two hours 30 minutes) long.
There are permanent sculptures and an annual exhibition April – September. Sculptures are amusing, puzzling and breathtaking.
The walk would be stunning even without the sculptures and it is a magical experience. Very few people know it’s there.
