CORDES SUR CIEL
1
A step-by-step journey through the centuries.
Cordes sur Ciel fascinates all those who discover it because it is first of all a vision: the vision
of a city reaching for the sky. It is next a book of art and history, where the memory of mankind
lives on, carved in stone since its creation.
And because it is finally a timeless place marked by a secular magic, which dates back to the
middle age and the heart of the crusade against the people of Albi.
During this period of turmoil incidental to the repression of the “French” from the north and to the
Catholic Church against the Cathars accused of heresy, the young Count of Toulouse Raymond
VII officially founded the city on 4th November 1222, with a deed still retained to date. Considered
as one of the first “fortified towns” of the region, Cordes developed exceptionally thanks to the
weaving and leather industries. During this Golden Age (from 1280 to 1350), rich merchants
and a few noble families constructed splendid gothic palaces with striking facades. At the
same time, the city equipped itself with several lines of fortifications in order to accommodate a
growing population which bordered on 5,500 inhabitants.
During the 16th century, following the religious wars, and from late 17th century the city experienced a period of decline due to the construction of the “midi canal” which disrupted the main
south-western trade routes. During the next two centuries, this decline and relative poverty
protected the medieval buildings from destruction, leaving us with a remarkable architectural
heritage which is practically intact, featuring strong fortified gates and luxurious buildings with
sculpted facades.
Its exceptional sights and remarkable architectural heritage make it one of the most significant
medieval towns in France, as well as one of the main hotspots for European heritage. It is today
classified among the “Great Tourist Sites” of Midi-Pyrenees.
The rare authentic lifestyle has been known to attract, inspire and capture the attention of
artists and craftsmen who were at the root of the revival of Cordes, whether involved directly or
not. United with Yves Brayer during the Second World War, they awoke the forgotten city and
prompted a new lease of life.
Did you know?
During its creation, the village received the name ‘Cordoa’, in all likelihood in reference to
Cordoba in Spain, which was famous for its leather craft industry at that time. In 1947, the poet
and novelist Jeanne Ramel-Cals thought up the name ‘Cordes sur Ciel’. This denomination,
conjuring up the image of the village surrounded by a sea of clouds, established itself in
local language until being made official in 1993 by the Home Secretary, Paul Quilès, who
consequently became Mayor of Cordes sur Ciel.

PENNE
2
From the top of its rocky spur, crowned with an impregnable fortress which challenges the laws
of gravity, the village of Penne looks over the Gorges of Aveyron. This strategic position has
fuelled its history of diverse influences. The origin of this picturesque medieval market town
is closely tied with that of its medieval castle, a masterpiece of military architecture formed
in the late 10th century. Privileged by powerful local Lords from the 12th century, the building
was closed for several centuries, before being classed as a historical monument in 1902.
Nowadays, it has been restored and is open to the public. Many more historical elements
reveal themselves at the mercy of the narrow winding lanes in Penne: the remains of the old
grain measures; half-timbered houses; doors and lintels from the 17th century; the church that
contributed to the village’s defense system; as well as battlements and fortified gates which are
still visible today.
During the 1940’s, the villages charm attracted and inspired artists and intellectuals closely
associated with surrealism, including Aline Gagnaire, Noel Arnaud, Georges Herment, Marcel
Lenoir, and many more.

This medieval village, nicknamed the “walled village”, developed slowly at the foot of the feudal
castle which was restored in 1630. Numerous ruins can be seen, including horseshoe shaped
ramparts with relieving arches, fortified gates, and much more. The gothic Church of St-Pierreaux-Liens houses a beautiful chandelier dating from the beginning of the 16th century, which
represents the martyr of Saint-Sebastian. When spring comes, you can take a stroll through the
beautiful village which attires itself in countless flowers.

SAINT-MARTIN-LAGUÉPIE AND ITS CASTLE 4
Separated by a bridge at the confluence of the rivers Aveyron and Viaur, the two villages of
Saint-Martin-Laguépie and Laguépie are dominated by the ruins of a medieval castle, which
housed powerful Lords from late 12th century. This castle bears an eventful history: it was burned
down in 1212 by Simon de Monfort during the Crusade against the people of Albi; reconstructed
when acquired by numerous Counts and Lords (including the Count of Toulouse Raymond VII and
Lords of Penne); and under English occupation for some thirty years during the Hundred Years
War before it was destroyed, along with the village, during the Wars of Religion and the Revolution.
Consequently, it was sold to the Freissinet family who attempted to conserve the ruins. Nowadays,
it belongs to the Saint-Martin-Laguépie City Hall. The association “Lou Viel Castel” holds responsibility for the development and conservation of the building, which has been open to the public
since 2006 (during the summer season and local heritage days).
BOURNAZEL
5
Built on the heights of the Cordais bed, the village of Bournazel reveals one of the most attractive
heritages: the Boisse castle (a private castle dating from the 15th and 16th centuries) with its
unique Corps de Logis, its façade crowned with a round tower projecting over the village square,
an iron cross created during the 16th century (classed as a Historical Monument since 1959),
and the Church of Saint-Barthélémy (dating from the 12th century) with its relic of Saint-Clair
(the first Bishop of Albi).
LES CABANNES
6
At its roots, the village of Les Cabannes was the place of residence of quarry workers who
operated the Garissou quarry, where limestone was extracted. This quarry supplied a large
part of the primary material used in the construction of Cordes. Later, it was the tanners who
worked in Cordes who resided in Les Cabannes. Nowadays, the historical centre of the village
bears witness to a rich architectural heritage featuring the Church of Saint-Antoine, the Saracen
Tower which was formerly attached to Cajarc Castle having belonged to Marquis Saint-Félix,
the square featuring the same name, its typical houses and the Iron Cross created during the
14th century.
Throughout the year, the village proposes several events which are not to be missed: “Les
Cabannes Wednesdays” featuring markets, aperitif concerts or outdoor cinemas, jumble sales,
festivals, and much more…

LABARTHE-BLEYS
7
Situated along the Cérou valley and at the heart of superb views, the village of Labarthe-Bleys
is the result of the merger of two hamlets. A third village, La Treyne, joined this group in 1827.
Labarthe takes its origin from Occitan word ‘Barta’, which means ‘moors’ or ‘land covered in
undergrowth’. The village’s historical centre has been known to preserve its authenticity, thanks
to its patrimonial elements such as the flamboyant gothic Church of Saint Hilaire featuring a bell
tower reaching 14 metres in height, the war memorial, the City Hall and its elements of rural
heritage such as the Treyne wash house which has been recently restored.
LACAPELLE-SÉGALAR
8
At the heart of the ‘Pays Cordais’ district, the village of Lacapelle-Ségular was historically attached
to the village of Albi, of which the north-eastern part belonged to the Segala plateau. Its name
itself carries the Occitan root “Ségalar” which means “world of rye”. During the 11th century, the
founding of a Chapel dedicated to Saint Cécile confirmed the importance of the site (the Chapel
has now been placed under the protection of hospital workers). Note the presence of the wrought
iron crosses by the roadside which have been restored and enhanced by the municipality. This
town was awarded the “Prize from the Ministry of Cultural Affairs and Public Relations” in 2012.
LIVERS-CAZELLES
9
Situated at the exit of Cordes sur Ciel in the direction of Albi, this village was originally composed
of two hamlets, Livers and Cazelles which merged during the 19th century. The name “cazelle”
refers to ancient dry stone structures which served as shelter for winemakers and shepherds,
as well as a warehouse for tools. This village tinged with charm and authenticity possesses
an architectural heritage composed of two churches, which have been restored by the villages’
passionate inhabitants.
MARNAVES
10
Situated in the Cérou valley, Marnaves extends over a small headland and features houses
made of beautiful local stone, the Church of Saint-Medard and a wash-house dating from the
late-19th century. Dominating the Cordais plains, the imposing silhouette of the private Roquerine Castle, from 1232, takes shape in the sky.
MOUZIEYS-PANENS
11
Situated on a headland overlooking the Cérou valley, this village was originally an advanced
position watching over Cordes. During the 19th century, the two villages originally “Mouzieys”
and “Panens” came together. The medieval castle, property of the Counts of Toulouse and
the Lords of Penne, was reformed during the 16th and 18th centuries and is home to the City
hall nowadays. Some original elements have been conserved (the staircase, the arched caves
and several rooms). In addition to the castle, the village bears witness to a rich heritage: the
flamboyant gothic style Church of Saint-Michel, the Chapel and its wooden ‘Pieta’ from the 14th
century (an artistic theme representing the Virgin). You will also find ‘cazelles’ (small stone
houses which served as shelter for wine-growers and shepherds), old bread ovens, washhouses, dovecotes and iron crosses throughout the village.

LE RIOLS
12
The local attractions of this village are found in a meander of the river Aveyron towards the
gates of Ségala. In Ratayrens, a neighbouring hamlet, you will discover watch-houses and a
seigniorial mill dating from the beginning of the 17th century, as well as the Church of Saint-Projet-de-Larroque.
ROUSSAYROLLES
13
Along the length of the paths which weave and wind through the box trees and junipers, numerous fountains, mills, caves and dolmens await discovery. In this village, you will be charmed
by the gothic Church of Notre-Dame dating from the 13th century, its bell-tower, the natural links
to Roman times and tapestries by Nicolaï Greschny.
SAINT-MARCEL-CAMPES
Surrounded by the calm waters of the Cérou valley, the village of Saint-Marcel-Campes has
experienced many ups and downs: in 1212, in the heart of the Crusade against the people of
Albi, this famous impregnable fortress fought against Simon de Monfort’s armies who, in spite
of everything, razed it to the ground. As the story goes, the survivors sought refuge on the Puech
of Mordagne (‘puech’ comes from the Occitan word ‘puèg’ which means ‘hill’ or ‘mountain’). In
doing so, they contributed to the founding of Cordes 10 years later.
SAINT-MICHEL-DE-VAX
14
The castle built at the foot of ‘Blanche de Castille’, between 1200 and 1250, was a castle flanked
with four towers. Lord Lacombe de Saint-Michel, the Empire General, was born here in 1753,
and passed away in 1812 in this same village after a brilliant career.
SOUEL
15
Situated on the Cordais Plateau, the village of Souel corresponds to the most calcareous area of
the wine-growing region of Gaillac. The medieval origin of this ‘castrum’ (a village built around
a castle) dates from the 15th century, when the fortified castle was reconstructed. Nowadays
in ruins, this building which occupied the central square of the village was besieged during
the Hundred Years War and during the Wars of Religion. It is thought that the name ‘Souel’
originates from either the Occitan ‘Soulel’ (meaning ‘sun’), or from the latin ‘Suellius’ (meaning
piglet). The architectural heritage of Souel is made up of several restored elements: the Church
of Notre-Dame de l’Assomption which is classed as a Historical Monument (dating back to the
14th and 15th centuries), the 12th century Church of Saint-Martin de Sarmazes, dry stone cazelles
(small stone houses which served as shelter for wine-growers and shepherds), wash-houses
and dovecotes.

VAOUR
15
Walkers - be aware… round any corner, a laughing fool from Vaour’s summer festival “L’Eté
de Vaour” could surprise you, where once upon a time the voices of Templers resonated. The
knights present around 1140 chose to establish one of their first Western Commanderies on this
sandstone mound because of its strategic position. Accidental or intentional, they constructed
their grand house on a sacred pre-Celtic site devoted to the worship of water. Let yourself be led
to the heart of the remains of the building and discover its history...
VINDRAC-ALAYRAC
16
Historically a former outpost fort of Cordes, the picturesque village of Vindrac offers a magnificent
view over the wine-growing region of Gaillac, the Cérou valley, the Causse (causeway or
limestone plateau) and the Cordais region. Its origin is very old, confirmed by excavations
carried out in the 80’s by Abbey Maurice Bessou. Rich archaeological material discovered
included: Gallo-Roman remains (ceramic, paint fragments and floor tiles) and the site of a
Merovingian necropolis, which was one of the most important in the Midi-Pyrenees region.
The village bears witness to several patrimonial elements which are classed as Historical
Monuments. The Church of Saint-Martin dating back to the 15th century and its cemeteries,
the Bridge at ‘La Bogne’, the 15th century Cross representing Christ at Les Fargues which is
sculpted on both sides, and a Virgin and child surrounded by several saints, can all be found
in this beautiful village.

Nature - natural, wild
and astonishingly diverse,
just a few words by which
the ‘Pays Cordais’ and ‘Pays de Vaour’
territories can be described.
The majestic forest of ‘La Grésigne’ has covered the north-west of the Tarn district since the Celtic
period. It is one of the biggest oak grove plantations in the south of France, and in autumn, the
echo of the deer’s bellows can be heard far and wide…
Towards the east, in the direction of Cordes sur Ciel, the prairies and the wooded countryside
make way for the ‘Causse’ (causeway), a dry but radiant plot of land covered with Juniper trees
and divided by low dry-stone walls. It is there, under the sun-covered plateau that the Gaillac
vineyards spread far and wide, reaching the banks of the river Tarn.
We invite you to climb up to the summit of our hills in spring and autumn to dream in front of the
famous sea of clouds which invades the hilly village in the early hours of the morning.
Whether you’re visiting by foot, by bike, on horseback, up in the air or on water, enjoy everything
that our country offers at your own rhythm. You can observe the natural heritage which has
been developed over time.

RAMBLES AND HIKES
Between the signalled circuits taking just a few hours to complete, and the multi-day itineraries
available, the ‘Pays Cordais’ and ‘Pays de Vaour’ offers a large range of trails for experienced
hikers and amateurs alike.
• CHEMIN DE SAINT JACQUES DE COMPOSTELLE
(ITINÉRAIRE DE LIAISON)
The connection route from Conques to Toulouse, registered in the 2010 ‘Grand Randonnées’
(National Hiking Trails) consists of 227km arranged over three segments (named GR®62b,
GR®36 and GR®46). This ancient path, borrowed from the pilgrims, passes through the prestigious medieval cities of Najac, Villefranche-de-Rouergue and Cordes sur Ciel (classed as
‘Great Tourist Sights’ of the Midi-Pyrenees region). From Cordes, you can choose to continue
towards the south (GR®46) or to head east (GR®36) to rejoin the ‘Voie d’Arles’ towards Albi
and Castres.
• CIRCUITS AND HIKES
> The ‘Grand Loop’ of the Fortified Towns (GR®46) suitable for an itinerary of several days
(71km spread over 3 to 6 stages). It can be combined with the GR®36 and the GR® de Pays,
as well as the shorter loops.
> La Gresinhòla this route offers originality with an itinerary which can be completed over 5
stages (84km) or in 5 loops (from 12km to 22km).
> Les Sentiers du Causse (12 km) and Lacapelle-Sainte-Lucie (12 km) during your walk,
you will discover exceptional views of the city of Cordes sur Ciel from the surrounding hills.
> There are also several shorter walks (from 4km), ideal for families or when time is of the
essence.
Our local area is committed to Sustainable
Development: less use of pesticides, transport
with a smaller carbon footprint, etc.
Please be a part of this by reducing all types
of pollution: by walking, cycling and using
available public transport (train, bus and carsharing), by proper sorting of your rubbish and
by favouring locally produced goods (where
possible without packaging).

Occitania
Occitan is a roman language which, like French, stems from Latin.
The Occitan language and culture do not correspond to a nation in the modern sense of the
term, but rather to the civilisations present in the southern part of present-day France (the
Occitan sector covers 33 French districts). They also represent the twelve Italian Piedmont
valleys and the Val d’Aran in Spain. Since the 8th Century, the Gaul region has been divided
into two linguistic zones: the northern Gallo-Roman zone and the southern Gallo-Roman zone,
which gave birth to the ‘oïl’ dialect in the north, and the ‘oc’ dialect in the south.
The Occitan tongue is altogether comprised of 5 dialects: the Languedocian dialect which is
linked with Cordes and its surrounding area, Gascon, Auvergnat, Limousin and Provençal.
The Occitan culture is also a literature dating back over a thousand years, in which the
most ancient texts date back to beyond the 10th century. From middle-age troubadours to
contemporary writers, this literature surprises us with its originality. The Occitan region
continues to exploit the richness of a surprisingly preserved oral heritage and a particularly
unique form of oral literature.
For many years, a cultural renaissance has been developed around the education of not only
the artistic creation and literature, but also of the dense associative network. This is represented
in Cordes sur Ciel by the association CORDAE/La Talvera which is installed in the main street
‘Grand Rue de l’Horloge’. This Association organises numerous events, notably the Occitan
festival which takes place from August 15th in Cordes.
País occitan
L’occitan es una lenga romana que coma lo francés es nascuda del latin.
La lenga e la cultura occitanas correspondon pas a una nacion al sens modèrne del tèrme,
mas puslèu a una civilizacion presenta dins tota la partida meridionala de França actuala
(lo domani occitan cubrís trenta-tres despartaments franceses) e atanben dotze valadas del
piemont italian coma dins lo val d’Aran en Espanha. Tre lo sègle VIIIe, lo territòri de Gàllia
se despartissiá en doas zònas lingüisticas : lo gallo-roman septentrional e lo gallo-roman
meridional que balhèron naissénça a la lenga d’òïl al nòrd e a la lenga d’òc al sud.
L’ensemble lingüistic occitan es compausat de cinc dialèctes : lo lengadocian alqual se restaca
lo país cordiòl, lo gascon, l’auvernhat, lo lemosin e lo provençal.
La cultura occitana aquò’s tanben una literatura de mai de mila ans que los tèxtes mai
ancians remontan al delài del sègle Xe. Dels trobadors de l’Edad-Mejana fins als escrivans
contemporanèus, aquesta literatura susprén per son originalitat. Occitània es atanben la
riquesa d’un patrimòni oral bravament preservat e particularament una literatura orala d’una
universalitat singulara.
Dempuèi mai d’unas annadas s’enreguèt una renaissénça culturala a l’entorn de l’ensenhament, de
la creacion artistica e literària, e d’un malhum associatiu bravament dense. Aqueste es representat
a Còrdas per l’Associacion CORDAE/La Talvera campada Grand Carrièra del Relòtge e organizatritz
de plan de manifestacions notadament las fèstas occitanas de Còrdas del 15 d’agost.
