- Just 7 km from Castres, the town of Labruguière has been on the banks of the Thoré since the 10th century. This dynamic city is booming! Located in Pays d'Autan, it benefits from the wind of the same name in summer, bringing a gentle beneficial heat. You will surely love the diversity of the landscapes of this town: on one side the Montagne Noire and on the other the Causse de Caucalières-Labruguière. Opposite you will find the plain of Castrais. As far as heritage is concerned, the medieval center of Labruguière is round in shape. It houses a hall dating from the 13th century, the church of Saint-Thyrs, the remains of the fortified gates at the entrance to the town (3 remain) and the 17th century Cardaillac castle. Photo enthusiasts can go to the Arthur Batut Photographic Space, who is the inventor of aerial photography, which is so successful today with the development of drone views! It's fun to discover how this resident of Labruguière, imagined and shot from... a kite, in 1888!!
