Culture and History
The historic Pont de Maux was built between the 12th and 14th centuries to cross the Cérou and enable the connection from Albi to Rodez via Valderiès.
The fifth edition of the Printemps des poètes took place in Valderiès from 11 to 28 March and was held under the motto “Freedom”. The Printemps des poètes included writing workshops, and more than 100 poems were collected in total.
The former mini-exhibition on school life from the past to the present displayed desks, clothing, photographs from bygone times and old registers.
The public sundial sculpture in Valderiès consists of two upright, sculpted megaliths facing each other and symbolically connected to the Dolmen du Gouty.
A municipal building in Valderiès houses the 1929 painting “Les barques de Port-Vendres” by the painter Jean ARNAUD, who was originally from Valderiès.
Local Traditions
The Fête de la brebis festival of the Bergerie de Cap’Découverte, held annually on the first weekend in May, includes sheep-shearing demonstrations and a walk with the shepherd and the dogs. The annual Fête de la brebis also includes a visit to the sheepfold and a tasting of meat from the farm’s own production.
In winter, provided work schedules permit, the Bergerie de Cap’Découverte occasionally offers children tours of the sheepfold featuring newborn lambs.
The Bergerie de Cap’Découverte in Valderiès sells lamb directly from the farm, including meat packages, steaks and merguez, depending on the season.
