The village of Bages is not
summarized only with the borough, as you notice
at the edge of the pond, it consists of 4 inhabited
places:
- the borough at the edge of the pond
- the hamlet of Prat de Cest more in
the west between scrubland and via domitia
- the
hamlet of Pesquis further back in the medium
of the vines
- the
hamlet of Estarac in the calm under the pine
forest
The church of St. Martin of
Bages:
Dates from the 13th century.
The work of rising1 meter was completed about the
17th century. At
the foot of the church the altitude measures 35
meters under the sea level.
The sundial:
Louis XIII would have
made a gift to the village in order to thank the villagers
for having accomodated and looked after the wounded
soldiers at their return from the spanish war.
The fishing
port:
On the left of the church,
point of view of the pond and far away the massif
of Carroux. By borrowing
the staircases, a small walk of a hundred meters
brings you to Caudeliers (beginning of the port).
Stroll on the
road of the ponds:
The D105 takes you along
in a fairy-like landscape
(particularly with the rising and setting sun) to Peyriac
the mer. Don't approach to close to the pink flamingos,
because the are very anxious.
Footpath by
the pond:
Picknick-Areas
and games for the children along the pond, at
the exit of the village, in direction of Peyriac
de Mer.
Pesquis:
The
Pesquinous family wich lived in the hamlet had
goats, and the rich people of Narbonne came to
get the milk of the Pesquinous. |
