The
Lauragais-TARN
is a beautiful region of France,
unspoiled by tourism and with a sun-drenched climate.
In addition to the UNESCO World
Heritage site of Carcassonne
(40 mins) there is Canal du Midi
at Castelnaudary
(20mins). There are countless other cultural attractions in the
Region.
Following the "Cathar
Trail" is a holiday in its self.
This is Farming
& Wine country, with fields covered in splashes
of waving corn and bright sunflowers, it is a
pleasure to wander and drive through the Petit valleys and rolling
countryside. Dotted with the brick Archways of Farms, church bells
built into walls, mills without sails, pretty villages
tightly anchored to the crest of the mountains and hill
tops.
The home of 'Woad'!!
visit St. Ferréol, St Felix de Lauragais,
Puéchoursy, Puylaurens, Durfort, Caraman, St Julia, Montégut,
Roumens, Arfons, Dourgne, Sorèze, Castres,
Sidobre Granite Park, Lac de Lenclas etc plus many more,
just a few smiles away !!!!
