DAY 2

1st stop

It is a medieval fort that has a mysterious air, like "abandoned" but it is worth the walk and see the view of the French countryside.

Cordes-sur-Ciel

2nd stop

This village surprised us, we knew it was nice and medieval by Cordes-Sur-Ciel, but unlike the previous one, it is very small but has more life and is more careful. In the few km that run through this village is all taken advantage of and concentrates its stores and restaurants in a very good way.

3rd stop:

For me, a must-have: Tolousse. It is a good option to spend the night as you have more amenities and things to do.

This restaurant was my favorite because we discovered it while we were walking looking for a place to eat and we went in because from the outside you could feel that it was a warm place with a good atmosphere. And we were not wrong!

Le Bateau Lavoir

Great atmosphere not only to drink, but also to have a coffee in the morning in front of the  "Marché Les Carmes"
