Walks and hikes around Gaillac

The Chemin de Gradille successively crosses landscapes composed of woods (downy oaks and maples) and hillsides of vines. Superb panorama on the fortified town of Castelnau-de-Montmiral: this hike offers you all the beauty of Gaillac in a single route.

Plains and hillsides, vines, umbrella pines and cypresses transform the medieval fortified town of Lisle-sur-Tarn into a Tuscan city… Occitan, in the summer light and heat. Discover the history of this part of the Tarn by reading its landscape.

In the heart of the Gaillac vineyard, even the paths celebrate the wine festival... Clay, limestone or gravel have a taste of the terroir. Broom, blackberries or raspberries exude aromas. The winemaker's mark leaves the mark of passion.

At the gates of Gaillac, this very pleasant hike takes you through a hilly landscape structured by the undulating lines of the vines. The unexpected beauty of the panorama from the heights gives an additional asset to the route.

Discover the wine estates near the trail: Moulin Estate, Barreau Estate, Laubarel Estate, René Rieux Estate, Mas des Combe.

Starting from Domaine Duffau, on the heights of Gaillac, the walk takes many wooded paths on easily accessible hills. It is also an opportunity to discover a rural heritage closely linked to the history of the Gaillac vineyard: chapel, cemetery, dovecotes, vineyard huts or farms each of these buildings preserves the history of the men and women who shaped this territory.
We take advantage of this loop to take a tasting break at the Domaine Duffau cellar.

This urban trail offers the walker different aspects of the city and allows the evocation of the rich historical past of the Gaillac city.

The path winds through the hillsides of Gaillac where the vine, very present, marks the landscape with its undulating lines. The hiker will discover a noble heritage (castles) and wine-growing heritage (vine sheds, dovecotes, farm cellars).
