A commune in the Aude region bathed by the Canal du Midi, Trèbes presents an image of a village where life is good. Its proximity to the city of Carcassonne makes it an easy place from which to set off on a pleasant expedition in the Languedoc-Roussillon-Midi-Pyrénées region. Uncover its little treasures through pleasant visits.
Take a tour of the village!
Crossed by the Canal du Midi, at the point where the Aude and Orbiel rivers meet, and nestled between plains and mountains, the town of Trèbes has many attractions and is well worth a visit. You can be sure of passing through a very picturesque area. Explore the city on a horse-drawn carriage ride. There's nothing more unusual! Leave from the port towards the old village.
During your tour, visit the church of Saint-Étienne, in the southern Gothic style, listed as a historic monument. It conceals paintings dating from the 15th century and pictures depicting the life of Saint Stephen. You should also take a photo of the Capuchin monastery, built in 1645. During your walk, don't forget to pass by the Vauban and Rode decks, which are also part of the city's heritage. Then head up towards Mourral hill, where Neolithic remains await you.
Enjoy the magnificent landscapes of the region!
To better appreciate the natural landscapes, it is best to charter a river boat from Trèbes. What's more, the gentle haul-in of the Aude can also be felt during river cruises. A moment of pure escape!
Fishing enthusiasts will be in their element by taking a detour along the banks of the Orbiel. You will quickly be captivated by the beauty of the Canal du Midi and the huge shafts of trees that haul in its sides. If you want to add a little dynamism to your trip, opt for an unforgettable family hike on the side of the Montagne Noire. During your walk through a landscape of vineyards and oak trees, you can take the opportunity to observe the region's wildlife. For the more athletic, rafting, hydrospeed and kayaking are among the must-do activities on the Aude river. Remember to bring your picnic and have lunch on the lush green banks of the river.
