Puylagarde in France is very appealing it is a step back in time and a step out of time with the rest of the world. You could almost believe you were in some long ago era your grandad told you about, when the water was still clean and people didn't lock their doors. All it needs is the rolling whine of an accordion in the background and you'd have to pinch yourself

it envelopes you in a tranquil yet playful charm that permeates all aspects of life.

The agricultural industry still thrives in this part of France, and much of it is small, non-intensive farming that still involves much of the community.

The weather in Tarn et Garonne does of course get cooler in the winter, but it is still relatively mild and temperatures below ten degrees Celsius are rare, so for much of the year expect warm, balmy days.  Because the weather is so amenable, there are  events in all seasons. Everything from big firework displays in August to monthly cultural fêtes, as well as the obvious wine festivals.
