Romanesque architectural treasures on the floor of the valley.
In Burlats, the Counts of Trencavel built a sumptuous residence away from major axes, hidden in a fold of the Agoût valley. Real Treasure, perfectly preserved Romanesque architecture which is rare for a civil building, this pavilion is named after Adelaide, a countess with violet eyes who was sung and courted by the famous troubadours Arnaud de Mareuil and Alfonso II of Aragon. You will enjoy beautiful views, but beautiful climbs as well.
