A propos
We are Anne and Stéphane, the authors of this blog dedicated to our little corner of Occitanie. After a complete life change, we settled in Castelnaudary. In the heart of the Lauragais, in the Aude. Between Toulouse, Carcassonne, the Montagne Noire and the Canal du Midi.
While renovating a 16th-century Lauragais farmhouse that we transformed into a bed and breakfast, we learned to discover this region in a new way. Above all, its wonderfully diverse landscapes, its authentic markets, its committed local producers, its villages you never drive through slowly enough. And since we opened, we have been sharing all of this daily with our guests.
This blog was born from the desire to extend that sharing of a more intimate Occitanie.
Here you will find:
- inspirations nature, heritage, food, walks…
- itineraries 2 days… 3 to 5 days… one week…
- a slow, sustainable and inclusive perspective
- and practical tips woven throughout the articles
To find what suits you, use the search bar or the tags below the articles. Canal du Midi, cycling, villages, markets, accessibility… everything is organised.
We fell head over heels for this wonderfully contrasting Occitanie: a mix of canals, rolling hills, mountains, markets, ancient stonework, charming villages and quiet paths. A place where you can be just as amazed by a landscape as by a meeting with a local producer, a regional recipe or a warm welcome. Through this blog, we share our selection of inspirations, itineraries and practical tips to explore our corner of Occitanie with a curious eye and a simple desire: to enjoy, to understand, to meet.
