Interpretation trails
What better way to motivate the troops than to walk along the thread of a story? Four interpretive trails are to be discovered:
- Le Agasse trail around Thesauque lake : Agasse is a black-billed magpie that accompanies you along the 5 km of the bank trail. She tells you about the many inhabitants of the lake that she meets on a daily basis: birds, frogs, ducks ... She also explains the different natural environments encountered around the body of water: the riverine forest, the reed bed, dry meadows ... its tone is light, tinged with the Toulouse accent, thus adapting to the youngest.
- Le wind turbine trail : located at Calmont, this 4,4 km route is lined with several interpretive panels explaining everything about the Lauragais landscapes and the operation of wind turbines. From 8 years old, your children can do the treasure hunt free that accompanies the ride, making it more fun.
- Jojo the Troglo : this mini walk of a few hundred meters takes place in a hill below the village ofAvignonet Lauragais. Be careful, it goes up! You will find panels arranged all along providing information on the flora and fauna of Lauragais.
- Le Camin de Tor del lac : this short 2 km tour will allow you to discover the Vallègue Lake. The panels will inform the curious about the fauna and flora of the edges of the lake. A barbecue, picnic tables and a fitness trail will enhance your outing.
A MUST: the ORIENTATION courses
Around Thesauque lake, in the municipalities of Montgeard and Nailloux, the more athletic will find their account: a permanent orientation course and free has been implemented. It is a question, using a map, of locating the correct markers and of punching them.
This course has around forty markers in total. This game is recommended from 6 years old. Young and old alike will discover the pleasure of searching… and of finding! The four orientation courses are to be collected in your Tourist Office or upon receipt of Thésauque lake campsite. You can also find them for download here.
