[QUOTE="Joan O., post: 953408, member: 72234"] Tom, Lived for years near Fanjeaux and now live between Villefranche- de - Lauragais and Castelnaudary. The Chemin du Piémont is wonderful - with relatively few walkers. I agree with your logic - that the place to step off Chemin d’Arles is at or around Montferrand and then walk to Fanjeaux. Note: 1) The Seuil de Naurouze is close to the step off point and is the engineering feat of Jean Paul Riquet in the 1660s - Canal du Midi - which joins Atlantic to Med. The parting of the waters is there. Worth a look if that sort of thing is of interest to you. 2) One can walk along the canal in any case to join the Piémont - either all the way (going a little backwards!) to Carcassonne -and then turn right onto the Piémont. Thé canal is very well maintained with a walking/cycling path, facilites etc etc. 3) Or one can leave the canal at Castelnaudary (home of cassoulet!) and walk the dead straight Roman road to Fanjeaux, cutting off Carcassonne 4) Thé Roman road is fairly busy for walking on but there are several alternate backroads through little villages on country roads and up through the hills running parallel to the Roman road. 5) Glimpses of the Pyrenees and great views of Black Mountain (Montagne Noir) are to be had on the higher routes from Castel to Fanjeaux. Sorry - am starting to sound like a travel agent selling a package - love this area along the foot of the Pyrenees - am not French! Currently am vacillating myself about taking the canal path north to Toulouse or going (yet again) on the south road to Fanjeaux and onwards come mid- September! Bon Chemin Joan PS Church at Vals set into the rock (Église rupestre) worth stopping at. And Mirepoix church - one of the widest unsupported spans etc etc ! [/QUOTE]
