Monsieur Rastoul: the wee garden farm that Pépoulie looks down on to the northwest holds our fondest memories, and had our favourite tourist attraction: Monsieur Rastoul. He is a diehard farmer and longstanding citizen of Puylaurens, who will greet you as if you have been friends for ever. We thoroughly enjoyed our visits with him at his well tended plot of land, and everywhere else that we bumped into him!
Markets: our favourites were Saturday morning in Revel and Wednesday morning in Réalmont. Both of these are an easy drive (about 20 minutes) and have a tremendous selection of food and various other things. No touristy elements, just authentic French market shopping. Having said that, our most rewarding market experience was right in Puylaurens - mainly because after one week we were
chez nous. We recognised the vendors and they recognised us!
