In the heart of Southwest France - wild mountains, vineyards, and cultural cities

• Conquer trusty castles, river valleys, and lonely mountains.
• Enjoy luxury camping with southern French serenity.
• Visit the Canal du Midi, Toulouse, and small wineries.

In the southwest of France, bordering Spain and Andorra, you reach the Midi-Pyrénées. Among the largest cities are Montauban, Albi and Toulouse, called "Ville rose" because of its pink granite houses. Those who want to explore almost undiscovered regions away from the near Mediterranean beaches of the Languedoc will find the Midi-Pyrénées just right. On small to medium-sized campsites you can enjoy comfort, swimming pool, or sports facilities, often in a pleasant family atmosphere.

Trip destinations for active families and individualists

The Midi-Pyrénées are considered to be a region with particularly diverse landscapes. The craggy mountain peaks of the western Massif Central and the Pyrenees as well as the numerous gently undulating nature parks make the region a popular destination for hikers. You can go mountain biking in the mountainous Causses, relax along the Canal du Midi, glide in a canoe through the Tarn gorge or swim in the Lac de Gaube. Well-known pilgrim paths, such as a variation of the Way of St James, lead through the Midi-Pyrénées. Discover the cathedral of the city of Auch or the castles of Montségur, Roquefixade and Quéribus. The space and aviation centre in the city of Toulouse, home of the airbus, thrills big and small technology fans alike.
