The City of Space
At the crossroads of educational, scientific and tourist missions, the Cité de l'Espace is a unique place and leader in Europe in terms of disseminating space and astronomical culture to the general public. The Cité de l’Espace has also, for several years, been increasingly popular with families who want to introduce toddlers to space.
His will? Arouse curiosity, make people want to know more, create scientific vocations, make space, astronomy and scientific culture accessible to everyone, whether they are curious, contemplative, dreamy or passionate.

The Monastery of Prouilhe
At the crossroads of the Bram-Mirepoix and Castelnaudary-Limoux roads, at the bottom of Fanjeaux; the monastery of Prouilhe was founded in 1207 by Saint Dominic to accommodate nine Cathar women whom he had converted. Destroyed several times and in particular during the Revolution when it was used as a stone quarry, it was rebuilt several times.
The basilica built in 1886, in the Romano-Byzantine style, remains unfinished. The monastery, meanwhile, still houses a community of Dominicans today, dividing their time between prayer and work.

Carcassonne

The Canal du Midi
The Canal du Midi offers those who cross it the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of exceptional landscapes and to admire the technicality of its works of art. This jewel of southern history gives everyone the opportunity to travel through time, to revisit the Aude Cathar Country over the water, to the rhythm of crossing locks, visits to monuments and cities but also to enjoy the local gastronomy. Opt for a peaceful navigation with family or friends.
Powered by a very sophisticated system, it presents the oldest inventions in terms of hydraulic control and works of art: locks, bridges, aqueducts, spillways... some of which have not been modified since their origin.

Toulouse
Whether visiting Toulouse for the first time or coming here regularly, the Pink City always surprises with its beauty.
Its architecture is dominated by Roman brick and tile, three sites are listed as World Heritage by Unesco, its museums recount two thousand years of history, a hundred private mansions recall the golden age of pastel, this unusual plant cultivated in the 16th century for its blue pigment… without forgetting the charm of its preserved facades and alleys.
