This small, ancient abbey is located just a few kilometers off the cycle path on the Canal dei MIDI. It was founded as a Benedictine monastery in the 8th century, but became a canonry in the 14th century when it was elevated to a diocese and the abbot was ordained bishop. The origins go back to Saint-Papoul, who came here as a student of Saint-Sernin of Toulouse and was martyred. Although it is in dire need of renovation, it is still worth a visit. Less crowded with tourists, it impresses with its stonemasonry by the Master of Capestany and its quiet atmosphere.

At this special lock system there is also a mill with a small shop that sells products from the mill and the region. It's worth taking a look inside! We bought a spread with olive paste.

Despite its ominous name, this lock is quite magnificent. Built around 1674, this single-chamber lock sits 137 meters above sea level.

After a fairly steep climb, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of Laurac and the surrounding green hills.

Located in the heart of the Cathar country (between Carcassonne and Toulouse), the abbey-cathedral of Saint-Papoul has a rich history, dating back more than a millennium. Listed as a historic monument since 1840, it was partly rebuilt in the 17th century.

Worth seeing monastery, nice forecourt. Small info with ticket office for entry and other things. More information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abtei_Saint-Papoul?wprov=sfla1
