Parisot lies between the Tarn and Dadou, amid a landscape of farmland and woodland. Walking trails, small structures and the history of Gaillac wine-growing offer different ways to explore the area during a stay. When planning, you can discover Parisot through its landscape as well as its village history and local agriculture.

Landscape and Wine-Growing History

Today, Parisot’s landscape consists of farmland and woodland. At the same time, the area’s history has long been closely linked to Gaillac wine-growing. This connection is also reflected in the street names: some still bear the names of original grape varieties, including oundenc, braucol and len de l'el (loin de l'oeil). Here, a present-day landscape of fields and woodland meets a long history of wine-growing.

Walking in the Hills of Parisot

La boucle de la Brogne is a yellow-marked walk through the hills of Parisot. The commune’s Association du Patrimoine maintains the route. The trail markers and landscape give you concrete points of reference if walking is a focus of your trip. Another walking route in Parisot is called La boucle du Château d'eau.

At the end of Chemin de la Brogne, you can see the Pyrenees in clear weather. Both the specific location and the weather conditions matter for this view: it is at the end of Chemin de la Brogne, not along the entire route. This makes the viewpoint a distinct point to include in your walking plans.

Chapel, Washhouses and Local History

There is a washhouse in the centre of Parisot. A second is at the end of the small path at the corner by the bakery on Route du Pastel. The two locations are clearly distinct: one is in the village centre, while the other can be found by following the path to the corner on Route du Pastel.

The Chapel of Sainte-Sigolène in the hamlet of Sainte-Sigolène dates from the 12th century and houses a statue of a Merovingian saint. Its age, the hamlet and the statue come together at this named location. This is a different aspect of the village’s history from the washhouses or the street names that recall grape varieties.

Local Produce and Farm Shop

Ferme des Bouviers produces and processes organic cereals into rapeseed, camelina and sunflower oils. The farm also has a shop where produce is sold: it is open on Fridays from 16:00 to 18:30 or by appointment. If you plan to visit the shop, confirm the opening times before setting out.

Getting There by Bus

liO bus route 710 connects Gaillac and Lavaur and serves Parisot at the Le Bousquet, La Mondine and Bourg stops. If you plan to travel on this route, check the timetable for your travel day; timetables can change. The names of the three stops will help you find the right information for Parisot.
