the V83 is the cycle route which connects Carbonne to Saint-Gaudens, this portion is reserved for bicycles. We must salute the work of local authorities who are developing these secure routes. Cazères is worth a stop or a detour.

Le détour par Rieux-Volvestre est incontournable, que ce soit pour essayer d’apercevoir le Papogay que pour s’arrêter devant sa cathédrale. Le village est installé dans un méandre de l’Arize, sur le chemin de la Via Garona, chemin secondaire pour aller à Saint-Jacques. Il est très joli, avec ses maisons à colombages. Il est connu notamment pour avoir accueilli le procès de l’affaire Martin Guerre en 1560. Il est connu pour sa Cathédrale de la Nativité-de-Marie et pour son trésor épiscopal. C’est un bâtiment imposant, haut de 43 m, possédant échauguettes et meurtrières, installé en bord d’Arize. Et enfin, il est connu pour son Papogay dont les fêtesse déroulent chaque premier dimanche de mai. Cette tradition remonte à la Guerre de Cent Ans et plus précisément suite à une défaite française à la suite de laquelle le roi Charles se rendit compte de la supériorité des archers anglais (imaginez le Brexit à l’époque …). Il ordonna que l’on s’entraîne davantage à cette discipline. À la fin du XVIème, une Compagnie des Chevaliers réservée aux nobles et aux bourgeois et une Société du jeu de l’Arc réservée aux paysans et aux artisans sont créées à Rieux. Aujourd’hui, la Compagnie des archers du Papogay de Rieux-Volvestre (la Révolution est passée par là, il n’a plus de distinction de classes) désigne chaque année son Roy : celui qui par sa flèche (chacun fabrique ses propres flèches) parvient à faire chuter le Papogay, un perroquet de bois de bois et de métal situé au sommet d’un mat de 45 mètres. Un Papogay est aussi proposée aux plus jeunes, il est placé à 20 mètres. Rien ne dit par contre pourquoi c’est un perroquet qui a été choisi. Et comme souvent, une autre origine à l’évènement existe, celle-ci liée à une légende : le Diable aurait hanté il y a bien longtemps la région dans le but de séduire la fille du seigneur local. Celui-ci aurait ordonné à tous les habitants de le chasser. Et c’est un jeune berger qui parvint à transpercer d’une flèche le diable qui avait pris l’apparence d’un Papogay (couillon le Diable, il aurait pu choisir un autre animal, ou alors voulait-il être sûr d’amadouer la demoiselle avec son beau plumage …).
