Cabanac-Séguenville is a village set amid the countryside on the border of Gers and Tarn-et-Garonne. Its distinctive features include the park of Château de Séguenville, a glimpse into farming at Ferme de l’Azema, and the work of a studio that decorates gourds. These different highlights offer several ways to get to know the area: through its landscape and views, its produce, or its crafts.
Landscape at Château de Séguenville
An old, very large holm oak stands among the wide-open views in the park of Château de Séguenville. The oak draws attention to a single natural feature; from the surrounding hills, the view extends to the Pyrenees range. A specific landmark in the park and a sweeping landscape view come together here. If you are looking for a scenic place to discover during your stay, you will find both in this named location.
The Château de Séguenville viewpoint is also stop 20 on a discovery trail through the Hauts Tolosans. This designation links the viewpoint to a regionally named trail. If you would like to include it in your plans, check the latest route information in advance. The view itself and the stop number answer different questions: one describes what you can see across the hills; the other locates the viewpoint on the trail.
A glimpse of life at Ferme de l’Azema
At Ferme de l’Azema, visitors can learn about duck farming and the cultivation of Ail Violet de Cadours. The farm also produces free-range poultry fed on locally grown grain. The farming experience ranges from learning about production to a specific detail about the feed. If you are interested in farming, both livestock and garlic cultivation offer distinct areas to explore.
The farm offers direct sales at the farm by prior appointment. The appointment applies to direct sales. If you would like to learn about duck farming or the cultivation of Ail Violet de Cadours, ask in advance about current visiting arrangements. This helps distinguish a sales visit from learning about production, without assuming that the same arrangements apply to both.
Gourd art at Atelier Coloquintes Peintes
At Atelier Coloquintes Peintes, the creative process begins with cultivation: the artist grows her own gourds and turns them into decorative objects. The studio presents original, colourful creations made using painted gourds and 3D printing. Both the material and how it is transformed are part of the story. For anyone interested in crafts, this offers a different focus from the park or the farm: the emphasis is on design, colour and the combination of different techniques.
Which focus suits your interests?
The three themes differ above all in the kind of experience they offer. The park is about a natural landmark and the view; the farm, about agricultural production and direct sales by appointment; and the studio, about the journey from homegrown gourds to decorative creations. If you would like to choose a focus for your stay, consider whether you would rather take in the landscape, learn more about production or explore the creative process.
