A 4.4-kilometre walking trail, facilities for exercise and the history of two châteaux offer different ways to spend a stay in L'union. When looking for accommodation, you can consider whether the landscape, sports facilities, cultural events or historic buildings should shape your visit. The range of options offers different ways to spend your time here.

Walk along the Sausse

The Boucle du lac de Saint-Caprais is a 4.4-kilometre walking trail through the countryside. It starts at the Saint-Caprais sports grounds in L'union and passes young plantings and the Sausse watercourse. Along the way, you can experience the local flora and fauna. The trail thus connects the landscape with a specific nature theme: the plantings, the water and the animals and plants found there are all part of the experience, alongside the walk itself. Check the route details before setting out.

Sports facilities in L'union

Those looking to focus on exercise will find a range of facilities. Stade de Saint-Caprais has a multisport area near the lake and a circuit with exercise equipment. In the Sausse leisure area, a fitness trail connects Calicéo with Route d’Albi. The area also has a skatepark and a mountain bike trail between the poplar plantation and Calicéo. The facilities differ in how they are used: the stadium has the sports area and exercise equipment, while the leisure area also features a skatepark and mountain bike trail. When planning, you can choose based on the activities that interest you.

Château history and parks

Château de Malpagat was built in 1840 as a residence with landscaped grounds and was initially called Château de Saint Caprais. The grounds include paths, a lawn for concerts and open-air exhibitions, and a children's playground. History and park design come together here with a variety of uses for the outdoor spaces. Château de la Cornaudric offers a different setting: it stands in a park overlooking the Hers Valley. The château includes a chapel built in 1781, which once served as a private chapel. At Malpagat, the building's origins as a residence and its grounds shape the picture; at Cornaudric, the views over the valley and the history of the chapel take centre stage.

Cultural programme and planning your stay

L'Estanquet de l'Olivier hosts concerts, exhibitions, theatre performances and creative workshops in L'union. The programme may change, so check the latest dates before planning a visit. This offers a cultural focus for your stay, alongside walks, sports facilities and historic buildings. When looking for a hotel, you can first consider which of these options matters most to you: the landscape along the Sausse, exercise, château history or an event. If you are planning specific activities, check the route details or event dates before arranging your visit around them.
