La Pradasse

An exceptional stay in the heart of the Lauragais region, with its heritage, culture and gentle way of life. Welcome to Ayguesvives, a stone's throw from the famous Canal du Midi and on the outskirts of Toulouse, in a charming guest house designed as an ode to local culture and good living, with swimming pool and pétanque court.

With its reminders of red brick and exposed beams, and paintings by the owner, this large, typical Lauragais home combines authenticity with top-of-the-range comfort. Each double room is an invitation to travel, to make artistic and sensory discoveries. A generous, gourmet home-cooked breakfast is served every morning, featuring tasty local produce. An elegant Piscine awaits you on sunny days, while the pétanque court invites you to relax and enjoy the company of friends. Everything you need for an unforgettable stay, between Toulouse and Cathar country. 3 voluptuous Bed and breakfasts: Nougaro: a vibrant tribute to the great singer from Toulouse. A poetic, hushed atmosphere, where lyrics resonate through touches of ochre and noble wood. Blue Note: the spirit of a New York jazz club invades this cosy, intimate room... Mucha: the delicate world of Alfons Mucha is expressed in floral arabesques and Art Nouveau furniture. Each room has a large 160*200cm double bed (2*90cm twin Nougaro beds), reversible air-conditioning, a TV and a bathroom with separate toilet.

From your Bed and breakfast, you can easily explore a region rich in history, gastronomy and cultural discoveries: the Canal du Midi, just 1.4 km away, offers superb cycling or walking routes, between locks, plane trees and barges; Toulouse, the Pink City, can be reached in 20 minutes: visit the Capitole, the Saint-Sernin basilica, the Cité de l'Espace or the Halle de la Machine; the Lake de la Thésauque, ideal for a swimming, paddle or picnic break with the family; a trip to Carcassonne, its medieval city and ramparts, just 45 minutes away.
