The village is small and quiet, popular as a place to live less than 15km from the centre of the prefecture town of Albi with its UNESCO World Heritage Site cathedral and its quaint medieval streets which are a draw for tourists and locals alike.
The village is less than 80km from the airport at Toulouse and is easily accessible via the A68 autoroute.
Gaillac is a winegrowing region providing numerous opportunities for exploring less well-known vineyards, and local restaurants offer a wide range of dishes from traditional Occitan cuisine to interesting fusion creations with a lighter style.
Rolling farmland and pretty villages give way to harder, higher lands to the north and south. Ideal country for bike rides, country walks, hacks and hikes. The Tarn valley and gorges provide ample opportunity for action and adventure on and around the river.
For cultural treats, the local festivals are fun and the cities provide a wealth of theatres, cinemas, concert venues and more.
