Are you disabled and want to discover Lauragais? Here is a selection of accessible tourist activities, accommodation and restaurants.
Lauragais Tourism is the intercommunal Tourist Office of Lauragais lands. Its area of competence extends from Calmont to the south (gates of Ariège) to Bourg-St-Bernard to the north (gates of Tarn) passing through Villefranche-de-Lauragais and Canal du Midi. This is the western part of the Pays Lauragais.
The Tourist Office is located at Nailloux, at the foot of Six-winged mill, 4 km from the historic center. Our team welcomes you every day of the year.
The services you will find at the Tourist Office:
- Documentation and informed advice to visit and stay in the region. The team is an expert of the territory and will give you his best addresses!

- At the Village des Marques, 500 meters from the Tourist Office, “ Isatis' counter »: a 170 m² boutique dedicated to the promotion of craftsmanship and the gastronomy of Lauragais and the region. Cassoulets, foie gras, biscuits, crafts, pastel, violet…there is something for everyone!
The label
The Tourist Office is labeled “Tourism & Handicap” for the 4 deficiencies. Thus, it acts by raising awareness of the right of access to tourism for all. A single goal: to make the daily lives of people with disabilities easier.
With this in mind, various actions have been carried out: publication of documents, creation of guided tours and adapted tourist products, development of the premises of the Tourist Office, training of reception staff and tour guides.
