From where do you start your discovery ?

The village is called  SAINT BAUZEIL.  It is a rural community situated at the end of a quiet country road on the green and sunny hills between PAMIERS (9 km) and  VARILHES (9 km) at 400 m elevation. Here is the ideal starting point for excursions into the whole region from TOULOUSE (65 km) in the north to ANDORRA  (95 km) in the south, CARCASSONNE  (80 km), NARBONNE (120km) in the east and LOURDES (180 km) in the west. FOIX the capital city is 18 km south of us.
