- Graulhet and its pretty little streets, a pleasant stopover or resort for the holidays! Crossed by the Dadou, a peaceful river, it is a good distance from the main traffic arteries, which gives it all the charm of a city on a human scale. Traces of human civilizations dating back to the Gallo-Roman era have been found in Graulhet. This is explained by the geographical and geological position of the city, located in a valley and on a rocky plateau surrounded by wetlands. Economically, Graulhet has distinguished itself by the know-how of its tanners. The leather of the region has been very famous for its color, its solidity and its price. The villa unfortunately underwent a strong social crisis at the beginning of the 20th century, then the economic crisis of 1929 weakened to the point of decline this industry, which was nevertheless so flourishing. Today, the city relies on its tourist attractions and the economy is turning more towards trade, crafts and sustainable development. In Graulhet, you can discover the Pont Vieux, a listed Historic Monument, the pretty medieval quarter with its narrow streets and half-timbered houses, including the Hostellerie du Lyon d'Or.
