Said to be the oldest town in France, beautiful Aurignac lies in the south-west of the country, in the Haute-Garonne department of the Midi-Pyrénées. After the discovery of pre-historic artefacts, Aurignac gained fame and gave its name to the Aurignacian period, but today visitors are charmed by the mediaeval features and ambience of this small market town. Aurignac lies in a delightful position, near to the stunning Pyrénéan Mountains, close to the great city of Toulouse and within easy reach of many character towns and villages.
Aurignac retains some authentic mediaeval features (a castle, tower and city walls) which offer plenty for the sightseer to enjoy. Once you have soaked up some atmosphere, though, your thoughts may turn to life's necessities, and you will find that Aurignac is well equipped to supply these too. The town has a good range of local shops, including a butcher's, a fresh fruit and vegetable shop, a baker's and a wine cave, while health needs are met by a doctor's and a pharmacy. The traditional market comes to town on Tuesdays, while for entertainment you have a cinema and restaurants.
The location of Aurignac offers many wonderful places to visit within easy reach of the town. Just a short drive can take you right into the majestic Pyrénéan Mountains, where you can find ski resorts, spa towns, pretty villages and a host of sporting activities. The lovely city of Toulouse is also accessible, and well worth getting to know with its wealth of heritage, culture, shops and restaurants.
Places to add to the list of "must do" visits include the fairytale city of Carcassonne, St Girons with its fabulous Saturday market, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Saint Bertrand des Comminges. The Mediterranean coast is also within reach, as is the Atlantic Ocean, so take your pick!
