The Téroundel Path

This easy route offers a superb view of the village of Cordes and the surrounding countryside from the Téroundel point.

You will walk for some time on the path of the pleaders. Before the reunification of the villages of Mouzieys and Panens (1810), the people of Panens used to go discreetly to Cordes by this path. Hidden from the villagers of Mouzieys by the embankment and the crops, the people of Panens would report minor disputes to the judge in Cordes.

The memory of the past:
Beautiful washhouses make their water shimmer in Mouzieys-Panens. The one at Thouron, at the foot of the castle, is even home to the Montpellier capillary, a rare protected plant also known as "Venus' hair". The second washhouse is at the end of the bridge of the arcades. If you cross the road, you will find some old watering holes.

Local toponymy :
The names Téroundel and Térondel appear on the local land register. These names, which are common in the region, come from the Latin turo, meaning height. Not to be confused with Thouron, which comes from Occitan and refers to a place near a fountain or a spring.
