En Rouger is situated in the rolling Lauragais region, with easy access to all manner of places and activities. The Canal du Midi is only 5 minutes away by car and Castelnaudary, home of cassoulet and the Foreign Legion, 7 minutes away. The Cassoulet Festival at the end of August every year is great fun. Within 40 minutes are the town of Carcassonne, with its famous walled city dominating the lower town, and Toulouse, la Ville Rose, full of character with museums, cinemas and wonderful shopping. The Mediterranean is just over an hour away, as are the foothills of the Pyrenees, with white water rafting and other outdoor activities available there. Dotted around the area are the Cathar castles which tell of the region's turbulent history, while the attractive medieval bastide villages, such as Revel, Mirepoix and Foix, all with bustling weekly markets, offer another glimpse of its past.
