Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Esmé Curran and Clay Logan
Welcome to the South of France! I think the location speaks for itself but those of you who haven't visited before, here's a sneak peak. We're in the foothills of the Pyrénées so there are plenty of fun outdoors experiences if you like hiking or more leisurely walks. There are many cute neighboring towns worth visiting for markets and/or rich history. If you have a car, great! Otherwise the trains are an easy option (when they're running....France can't always be dreamy) If you prefer the city or a livelier setting, we are between two beautiful coasts offering the best of both worlds. Lively seaside setting with all the perks of city living. We're also very close to the Spanish border and Basque Country. Some of the best eating and drinking and a nice cultural flare. If you would rather take it easy and not travel so much, the city of Toulouse is a perfect balance. It's small, accessible, beautiful, lively, and full of local charm. Some of our recommendations:

Cave of Niaux

Niaux, Occitanie 09400, France

Go see some prehistoric cave paintings!

Grotte du Mas d'Azil

Avenue de la Grotte, Le Mas-d'Azil, Occitanie 09290, France

Another beautiful prehistoric cave with a river that runs through a cave

La Belle Verte

50 Rue d'Aubuisson, Toulouse, Occitanie 31000, France

One options for canoeing/rafting and other fun outdoor activities. There are lots of different options for activities like this.

Gorges du Tarn

Saint-Pierre-des-Tripiers, Occitanie 48150, France

Beautiful gorge in Tarn, just about an hour from the Château.

Lac de Montbel

Montbel, Occitanie 09600, France

Beautiful lake about 2 hours from Château

Cazères

Cazères, Occitanie 31220, France

A great local town to visit

Montesquieu-Volvestre

Montesquieu-Volvestre, Occitanie 31310, France

Another cute and local small town on the Garonne

Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges

Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, Occitanie 31510, France

Saint Bertrand de Comminges is a pretty medieval town positioned on a hill. It has an interesting cistercian cathedral with 16th century wooden choir and beautiful cloister and of course, great views.

Mirepoix

Mirepoix, Occitanie 09500, France

Very cute little town with great history and medieval architecture

Foix

Foix, Occitanie 09000, France

This is the underground river of Labouiche in Foix, France. It is said to be the longest subterranean river in Europe!

Bossost, Vall d'Aran

33 Carrer Sant Jaime, Bossòst, CT 25550, Spain

Very quaint little down just over the border in to spain (so a slightly longer day trip). This place is great for enjoying hiking trails and treating oneself to a lovely, unique local meal. There are three restaurants we return to every time. While they are 'fine' dining, they are reasonably priced: El Portalet, Er Occitane, and Casa Rufus in Gessa a little further along.

Bages

Bages, Occitanie 11100, France

For those of you interested in further explorations towards the coast, this is a friends airbnb in the small mediterranean fishing village of Bages. Highly recommend a visit and stay if you have the time.

Montpellier

Montpellier, Occitanie, France

Montpellier offers a good example of city life and character on the South East coast. You can continue up the coast towards Italy or down towards Spain.

Biarritz

Biarritz, Nouvelle-Aquitaine 64200, France

On the opposite coastline you can visit Biarritz. This town offers a beautiful example of the mold of Spanish and French cultures without crossing the border. Its a beach town with a lot of surfing and other fun activities. If you want a smaller more intimate beach excursion, Hossegor is just a little further along and is very very cute.
