Champdomergue

The béal (irrigation channel)
“I know that several people had a right to the béal, and they each had their day to use the water. Where I lived there were at least 3 kilometres of béal, and to maintain them, we’d work in March and autumn. Nowadays you can water the parcels with a hose but it doesn’t distribute the water like a béal. When there were channels everywhere, everything was green, now it’s all dry”.

Champdomergue
In 1943 and 1944, Champdomergue sheltered a Resistance unit of German and Spanish antifascists, Armenians and Russians (deserters and escaped prisoners) and French men. They actively participated in the Vallée Longue Resistance through various acts against the Gestapo and the French Milice.

The railroad
Description
1) Turn right onto the disused railway.
2) Immediately after the railway bridge, take the little path on the left that goes uphill via Rome to join up with a track on the ridge.
3) Turn right onto this track until you reach the road, which you take downhill through Leyris Bas. Past this hamlet and a spring, take the path that goes uphill on the left. You climb through a reforested area of pine, Douglas fir and spruce, crossing a forestry track several times.
4) When you reach the ridge track, take a track on the left to Champdomergue. Walk around the meadow on the left. At the road, turn right and go downhill to the pass.
5) Below the pass, take the track on the right.
6) At the first intersection, go downhill on the left and continue on the main track. Then take the road downhill to Altavias, La Borie and Soulatges.
7) Take the path downhill to Burjas, which runs above the disused railway.
8) Take the disused railway for 750 m.
9) Fork left onto a path that comes out on the N 106. Turn right onto the road to get back to your car.
