Caramany

Listed as a Historic Monument for its bell tower, the Saint-Étienne church in Caramany is rich in sculptures. Quoted from the 14th century, the present church only dates from the 15th century, taking the form of a nave bordered by four chapels. Built in the 19th century, the bell tower has the particularity of being pierced with large oculus with the angles of the upper floor surmounted by balls. An electric clock also replaced a mechanical clock in the 1960s.

Walking through the old village, you can admire very elegant old architecture, including the old medieval castle which now houses dwellings, the house Chauvet, a former 17th century draper's house, the arches of the rue de l'Eglise or the old gate and portcullis of the Rebelli.

To enjoy an unobstructed view of the lake, head to the belvedere. An orientation table has been installed to better distinguish the panorama which goes to the peak of Bugarach and the castle of Quéribus.

Several hiking and biking trails have been developed to take advantage of these unique landscapes.

The village festival is held every year in mid-August with a festive meal and musical entertainment.
