Things to do in Midi-Pyrénées, Occitanie: The Best Historic Walking Areas

August 1, 2021 Deane Carmody

Stretching from the wooded Dordogne to the towering peaks of the Pyrenees, this vast region is a popular winter sports destination, but one without the hordes that besiege the Alps. Spring's melted snows lure kayakers and rafting enthusiasts. In summer, amateur and advanced hikers take to the hills.

Abbaye de Belleperche

Built in 1143 on the banks of the Garonne, rebuilt on huge retaining walls in the thirteenth century, it was one of the three richest Cistercian monasteries of the south. Rebuilt again in the eighteenth century, it now offers its imposing majesty and provides a framework at the Museum of tableware.

We took a stroll down the Quai at sunset. There is a place where you can buy beer and wine. We then walked down the length of the Quai. Tons of people also taking advantage of the setting.

Bourg Medieval de Saint-Cirq Lapopie

Reviewed By ianj776 - Usk, United Kingdom

This ia a wonderful historic small town perched high on a cliff above the river below. The original building was probably the castle/fortification, again perched on high, now a ruin but still very evident. The town consists of several very steep streets dotted with cafes and 'tourist type' shops plus several decent restaurants. There is also a 'beach' and towpath below, popular with walkers - we did not visit due to time constraints. A welcome bonus bonus is the provision for parking which is ample in all areas.

Place Nationale

Reviewed By bardangas - Athens, Greece

Arcaded enclosure functioning in toto as an organic provider, a gathering place, a l'ocus commercials'. It combines service provisions- shops and cafes with theatrical use labelling of the arcades and decoreated galleries. The heart of the bastide, one of the finest squares in France, a majestic functional open space. Sharing with maternal Toulouse the pink building material which constitutes an earthy unsurpassable building material. It is not the original bastide centre having being actually rebuilt after an 'incendie'. It iss beautiful core of the original bastide functioning as an inverted church space, open uncovered, intimate and a shopping centre.
