THE CASTELA UNDERGROUND
Go there and contact
The Souterrain du Castela, a site comprising four rooms excavated with iron picks in Saint-Sulpice.
Particularly well preserved, the Castela underground is 142 metres long. It is the only site of its kind open to visitors in the Tarn. Its architecture consists of four rooms dug out with iron picks, which were used as storerooms. The guide will reveal all the secrets of the site, including the hidden ear canal that was once used to say the password, as well as other special features such as the grain silos and water basins. For the record, it was here that "the forger of Saint-Sulpice" took refuge in 1418.

Ludique, grâce au dynamisme, a l'humour et aux connaissances historiques ainsi que de la région de notre guide. Elle sait captiver l'attention des grands et des petits pour nous conter une partie de l'histoire de France (et tout cela malgré son mal de gorge) bravo !
Visite très intéressante à poursuivre ou précéder par une balade sur le site des ruines du château juste au dessus du souterrain.
