CABRESPINE VILLAGE

Street square and neighborhood to visit

The small village of Cabespine lies at the borders of the Minervois and Cabardès, nestled in the valley of Clamoux, between plain and mountain. He belonged to the abbey of Lagrasse of the time of Charlemagne, until the Revolution. The castle, built in the th century, was later, a royal garrison, but today remains only a few ruins under study. The parish church, built in the th century, is well preserved. Beautiful Gothic style book inside a stone museum and a table of Gamelin. It should also host exhibitions as of 2017. The establishment of a medieval garden is also planned this year, in the green area bordering it. Visitors can discover ancient vegetables and medicinal plants used in the Middle Ages. Cabrespine enjoys an exceptional dynamic, by the municipality that restores, develops and enhances the village, its heritage and its history. Water is thus ubiquitous in Cabrespine: ancient wash, watering, fountain recalls the essential role of water that would spread the giant gulf of the village (see the "Enlarge" section), known across borders. The narrow and picturesque streets are clean and flowery. These highlights add to the charm of this typical village of the Black Mountain. Looking at the environment, the municipality plans for 2017 the installation of two electric terminals that will be located on the parking lot of the abyss. Cabrespine has been awarded the "Healthy Land-free" label that rewards and attests to the efforts made to protect the cultures and vegetation of the village.
