Foulayronnes / Monbran, le GR 652, Chemin de Saint-Jacques

Starting from the church of Monbran, this circuit crosses twice the valleys of the Ségone and its small tributary the Ridounel. It climbs the hills of Trégan, Cayssat and Monbran offering magnificent views. The history of the site of Monbran, a place appreciated by hikers for its panorama on the Garonne and its old stones, goes back to the XIIth-XIIIth century with the construction of the Romanesque church in local stones and the castle in 1217, which became the summer residence of the bishops of Agen. One of the most famous bishops, Mattéo Badello, wrote many short stories there, such as "Romeo and Juliet", which inspired William Shakespeare. Transformed into a sanatorium at the beginning of the century, the castle is now a convalescence center.
