Saint-Martin-Le-Redon

Saint-Martin-Le-Redon offers a variety of reasons to plan a trip: historic architecture, a walking route popular with hikers, fishing ponds, golf, and the production of ice cream and skyr. The parish church of Saint-Martin and the Tour médiévale de Mescalprès offer specific insights into the town’s architectural history. Leisure activities include both a named route and independent opportunities for fishing and golf.

Church and medieval tower

On the south side of the nave of the parish church of Saint-Martin is a Romanesque portal; the church’s west portal is Gothic. The two features therefore differ both in their location on the building and in their stylistic classification. Parts of the parish church may date from the second half of the 12th century. This possible dating applies to parts of the building, not to a definitive dating of the entire church.

The Tour médiévale de Mescalprès is a square fortified tower dating from the 14th century that has preserved its original structures. It was listed as a historic monument by decree on October 20, 1995. The dates serve different purposes: the 14th century places the tower in its historical context, while the 1995 decree records its protected status. Its construction history and heritage protection can therefore be considered separately.

Walking route and fishing

The Voie Romaine is now a walking route popular with hikers. It can be used to reach Duravel, among other places. This gives you a specific destination for planning your route; no walking time or distance is specified. The route offers a different focus from the local fishing and golf facilities: here, the emphasis is on walking along a named route.

Pisciculture du Moulin de Guiral offers fishing ponds stocked with carp, trout, and roach. The available fishing methods are still fishing, spinning, and fly fishing. For planning purposes, both the listed fish species and the different fishing methods are relevant. Check in advance what conditions apply to a visit.

Golf in the Thèze Valley

Bouysset Golf is a 9-hole course at Lieu-dit le Bouysset in Saint-Martin-le-Redon. The course has a driving range, a practice area, and a putting green with bunkers. The description therefore covers practice opportunities as well as play on the course. The terrain also gives the golf offering its own character: Bouysset Golf is located in the Thèze Valley and features water hazards, bunkers, and hills. Information about the course size, practice areas, and terrain can help you decide whether it suits your golfing interests.

Ice cream and skyr made with their own milk

Les Délices de la Thèze makes and sells ice cream and skyr using milk from its own cows. The production and source of the milk go hand in hand: the milk comes from its own cows, and the resulting products are ice cream and skyr. This sets the topic apart from the historic buildings and outdoor activities, adding a selection of foods that are made and sold locally. A visit may also be of interest if, alongside architecture or outdoor activities, you are interested in the production and sale of these products. Conditions for fishing, golf facilities, products, and services may change; check with the respective providers before making specific plans.
