Le Pays Lauragais is the region that includes Haute Garronne (31), Tarn (81) and Aude (11) Departments in the south. I imagine that most people are aware of the Tarn, Albi, with its capital, an area of outstanding beauty, but perhaps less familiar with the departments of Aude and Haute Garronne until of course the fabulous city of Carcassonne and Toulouse mentioned.
Carcassonne is the capital of the Aude and is home to two world heritage sites,and Toulouse, is known as "Ville Rose, or the" Cité d'Espace "is, of course, the capital of Haute Garrone and is the principle town in the south of France. It 'also home to the French aeronautics and space industry and the headquarters of Airbus.
All three departments are the main rivers as Isambard running back and two of them also play host to the famous Canal du Midi response has been promoted on the life of Pierre-Paul Riquet, 's France Kingdom Brunel.
The main fuel tank for the Canal du Midi is a beautiful lake, the famous over the market town of Revel for the food market is sitting and furniture industry. To form the lake, a large dam, 30 m high, 10 m thick and 871 were some long stretches in the 17th Century built.
Today, the lake as a recreational area offers a beach where you can swim, surf, mountain climbing and fishing in a very pleasant and attractive used> France has also made more attractive by providing an arboretum around him coasts year, over 150 different varieties of trees, including 400 one that is about. It was the world heritage site has been classified by UNESCO
The lake has a natural attraction for leisure and there are a number of restaurants, shops, a large hotel, an equestrian center, camping and bar overlooking the lake. The most recent additionwhere a museum dedicated to Monsieur Riquet (opened in 2008, overlooking a large fountain), which can have a detailed view of his life and work, is also a delicious lunch at their new restaurant, if you want to make a tag or half a day of it.
Castelnaudary Cassoulet of fame is a bit 'to the south is sitting in Revel and effects on the Canal du Midi, but also has a very good food market, which takes on a Monday morning. There are boat trips along the channel of the port inSummer and some good examples of the locks of the Canal du Midi can be found here.
Castelnaudary to Toulouse in France, to go to Ville de Lauragais and opportunities for the recruitment of motorcycles, the ways to find the channel and explore the small villages, restaurants and a bit 'of wildlife on the course.
Circling back to Revel, see the city and Durfort Soreze, Durfort is known for its famous copper-based products, manufactured and sold in handlocal shops, a good place to visit on a Sunday morning, especially since the portfolio of products now include handmade leather, pottery, basketry and carpentry.
Soreze is known for his "Parc de l'Abbaye-Ecole", which was created in its heyday around 1776, one of 12 military academies by Louis XVI known. It 'was then managed his father's official Lacordaire, in which animated the French Dominican Order, but after investigating a number of celebrities, includingWriters, philosophers and politicians, it finally closed its doors in 1991 as a school. Since then (since 1993) of the whole site was under a restructuring program and is classified as a historical monument.
The city is full of old world charm with half-timbered houses from the 16th and 17th centuries the village and its famous palace is the "church of San Martino, which was probably completed about 1512.
