What's Midi Pyrenees got to offer? 

Situated in the heart of south-west France, Midi-Pyrénées stretches from the wooded hills of the Dordogne to the river valleys of the Pyrénées. It is one of the largest regions in the country, with ancient towns, villages, castles, Romanesque churches and a very deep history. If you’re in search of  small medieval villages, rolling hills and wonderful landscapes in the mountains, this is the perfect place for you!
Lovers of nature will be impressed by the region’s unique valleys, incredible forests and lakes.

More than that, Midi Pyrenees is a very rich area, culturally and historically: typical 19th century castles and museums, as well as enchanting palaces and amazing cathedrals, so many special places you're sure to remember.

It is a very rural region, producing a large range of crops, maize, soya, sunflowers, tobacco, wheat, tomatoes, beans, kiwis, melons, strawberries, apples, pears, plums and peaches. Midi-Pyrénées is very famous for its gastronomy, whether in a Château or in a local restaurant, you will taste excellent foie gras, cassoulet, Roquefort and drink local wines.

The Midi Pyrenees Region has an unquestionable relief diversity, which is a very good asset for tourism, especially in areas where the natural beauty of the landscape and the unique historical heritage become rivals.

Through adventure, in the mildness and sunshine of the fields, you will discover the treasures of Midi Pyrenees!

The region has often been associated to a very traditional agriculture that had stayed on the sidelines from the industrial revolution, that’s why this region has kept a very strong rural identity.

An ideal place to visit that can offer something throughout the year - skiing in the winter months to warm climates in the summer months
