Revel
40 min from Castelnaudary. Stop: Salle Nougaro. Revel was the last bastide to be founded in Occitanie in 1342. Its main square and fantastic market hall date back to that time.
They host one of the best markets in Occitanie on Saturdays. You can experience Revel's cabinetry and marquetry legacy at the MUB. Then it's time for a stroll in the shade on the Rigole de la Plaine greenway. Find out more.
Lake of Saint-Ferréol
Stop: Bassin Saint-Ferréol (during half term). Pierre-Paul Riquet had this 67ha lake built in the 17th century to collect water from the Montagne Noire and funnel it to the Canal du Midi using a system of channels.
The Réservoir museum explains it all beautifully. Saint-Ferréol Lake is now a popular spot for water sports, swimming and relaxing. Find out more.
