Follow a route that takes in a succession of Top Tourist Destinations in Midi-Pyrénées and you will discover a string of villages of outstanding character and heritage interest such as
Rocamadour,
Saint Cirq-Lapopie and
Cordes-sur-Ciel. Come face to face with the skill of the medieval builders of
Figeac and
Saint Bertrand de Comminges. Find your way around the geometric street plans of the 13th century royal 'bastide' towns of
Najac and
Villefranche de Rouergue. Soak up the atmosphere of the epic era of Catharism at
Montségur and sense the lingering presence of those who trod St James's Way in
Conques and
Moissac.
And beyond the great happenings of history, the villages and historical attractions officially recognised as Top Tourist Destinations in Midi-Pyrénées
draw you in to their daily lives, their landscapes and their surroundings. The chatter at the little local market, the treasures and patina of ancient buildings, the casual smile of a villager, the profusion of natural beauties, the scents of the countryside trails: all these are yours when you explore the
Top Tourist Destinations and their surrounding areas.
