Léguevin – a market town in south-west France
The town of Léguevin, which is located in the sunny south-west of France, not far from Toulouse, is an attractive and thriving bastide town, which can trace its antecedents back to prehistoric times. Today, the town is a blend of old and new, with the traditional buildings happily co-existing with a busy modern community. The pretty countryside in which it lies creates a peaceful and rural environment, and adds to Léguevin's charms, a sense of history and tradition.

Everything you need
Léguevin can provide everything you need for a comfortable modern lifestyle. There are excellent shopping facilities, with all the “usual suspects”'... a boulangerie, a boucherie, a tabac, a presse... the list goes on, but suffice to say that you won't be disappointed! Léguevin also has a very interesting church complete with a very impressive bell wall. (This is typical to this part of France: instead of a bell tower there is a rather pretty bell wall.) The town has several traditional buildings worth seeing, and also boasts a beautiful chateau, the Château de Castelnouvel.

Sunday morning market
Léguevin has a regular Sunday morning market held in the attractive central square, so if you are an aficionado of the French market experience, this is one you won't want to miss. You can purchase just about everything from the very freshest of local produce to a new party dress for that special occasion. And talking of special occasions, the town also has a sprinkling of very good restaurants for those times when you have something to celebrate... or you just want to treat yourself!

Great for sports
There are plenty of opportunities to get active in and close to Léguevin. The town has a municipal swimming pool (one word of advice here... if you are new to municipal pools in France, make sure that the men in your party take proper swimming trunks rather than shorts... or they won't be allowed in!) and a selection of sporting clubs to join. The surrounding countryside affords further possibilities, such as walking, horse-riding, golf, fishing and many more.
