Le hameau de Mordagne mérite une attention : on y trouve de belles bâtisses et notamment quelques beaux pigeonniers ainsi qu’une église du XVe siècle (remaniée au XVIIe). Sur l’itinéraire, on passera aussi près du château de Cas qui peut se visiter. Le château privé a été construit au IXème siècle sur un site occupé par les Gallo-Romains. Devenu le site d’une commanderie templière au XIIIe siècle, il faisait partie des possessions de la commanderie de Lacapelle-Livron pendant la période hospitalière. Il fut remanié au XIV e siècle puis au XVIIe siècle. Le jardin est du XVIII e siècle. Fortement endommagé lors la Révolution, il est restauré à la fin du XIXe siècle, puis de nouveau endommagé durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il est remis en état dans les années 1980. À proximité, la chapelle Saint-Martin (XIIe siècle) est aussi intéressante. De style roman c’est une ancienne chapelle de l’ordre des Hospitaliers. Parcours avec 45% de route.
