"THE MACHINE GUN HOLE" Here, in 1944, the occupying German "SS" installed an MG 42 machine gun. This "killing machine" fired up to 1,000 meters at a rate of 1,200 rounds per minute. Venerque Heritage Association

This little single passes near the Ariège. It is suitable for both mountain bikes and gravel. Passage near the waterfall. Really nice.

Beautiful building and possible starting point for beautiful walks by bike or on foot. Possibility of parking nearby at the nautical base.

A very pleasant single, rather rolling, shaded. Can be wet ...

Magnifique sentier passant par la chapelle Notre-Dame des Bois. La petite statue en bois polychrome a été datée du début du XIIIe siècle d'après son style qui est celui des vierges romanes mais avec un certain nombre de détails indiquant déjà le gothique commençant. Les troubles de l'époque, les chevauchées du prince Noir, du comte de Foix ou du comte d'Armagnac, semblent avoir détruit le premier sanctuaire élevé au milieu des bois sur un chemin descendant vers l'Ariège. La statue aurait alors été cachée sous terre. C'est là que s'introduit la légende conservée par la tradition locale. À cet endroit, un jeune taureau quittait souvent le reste du troupeau pour venir gratter de ses sabots, la terre près d'une touffe de genévriers. Le bouvier le suivit un jour et vit l'animal contempler à ses pieds une petite statue de bois de la Sainte Vierge avec l'enfant Jésus. Cette découverte provoqua l'enthousiasme général mais quand on voulut porter la statue en procession dans les paroisses voisines, l'attelage s'arrêta à la limite de Clermont et revint à toute vitesse vers le lieu de la découverte où fut construite une nouvelle église champêtre. Ce monument subit de nombreuses vicissitudes au cours des siècles. Il eut une vie propre avant d'être rattaché au clergé de Clermont. Ce qui restait de l'ensemble conventuel fut vendu, sous le Directoire, à un particulier qui le démolit et fit disparaître jusqu'aux fondations. La statue fut une nouvelle fois cachée par une femme qui la restitua au curé de Clermont. Le pèlerinage ne fut autorisé qu'à partir de 1 810 et rassembla les fidèles d'Aureville, Goyrans, Venerque, Issus, le Vernet, Corronsac, Rebigue et Auragne dont on retrouve les images sur le grand arc de l'église de Clermont. Après la seconde guerre mondiale, il ne restait pas grand-chose du sanctuaire ; la commune acheta le terrain où se rassemblaient les fidèles et le curé Labit fit construire le petit oratoire que l'on voit aujourd'hui, inauguré en 1951. La vieille statue reste cachée chez une habitante du village. Elle n'est sortie qu'une fois par an, autour du 30 avril, pour le pèlerinage. Tiré de l'opuscule « Notre-Dame des Bois de Clermont » de Geneviève Durand-Sendrail, publié par les Amis de Clermont le Fort (2004) – La Dépêche du Midi
