Visit the region

South of Toulouse and the Haute-Garonne, we enter a region of pastures, hills, a green and wooded area with the Pyrenees chain as a horizon. Several small picturesque villages deserve to be visited.


It is the case of Aurignac, a perched village with a particular charm with its streets lined with medieval and Renaissance houses and a castle with its dungeon. The village gave its name to a period of the Paleolithic era: the Aurignacian period, since it is here, in 1860, that traces of human occupancy were discovered in a shelter by Edouard Lartet. A forum museum of the Aurignacian period is dedicated to Homo-Sapiens
