The center of Verfeil, perched atop its hill, boasts a beautiful heritage in a village steeped in history. The Bonrepos-Riquet-Verfeil road, though rather poorly paved, is truly beautiful.

Magnificent lake in the heart of Lauragais, 2 steps from Toulouse. It is possible to go around the lake by a path that has kept its wild charm. And on a clear day, the Pyrenees are visible in the distance. A delight !
