Hiking

From Xaintrailles to Pompeii, readings of the landscape

From Xaintrailles, on the border between the hillsides and the forest, there is a sweeping panoramic view. It is one of the highest points in the department. Located on a plateau overlooking the moorland and the rich Garonne plain, it was built in an elongated shape around its castle. Today, it is a village whose main industry is wine-growing. You can discover the many vineyards as you stroll along the path that also leads to the village of Pompiey, which lies hidden like a surprise in its green setting with its rural landscapes alternating between fields and forests. It became known very early on for its cork production, especially during the 19th century.
