PROPERTY

In the 15th century, a church dedicated to Saint Sernin was standing in the middle of the park (  Saint Sernin de Curcelles ) The château was built in 1767, probably where an older one was already standing.

The property is crossed by one of the routes to Saint Jacques de Compostelle ( Conques – Toulouse ).

 

 

 

A few minutes away from Toulouse, city of Art and history, wonderful architecture of pink stone, hence called “The Pink City”; and in the other direction,  from Albi – Episcopal city, classified as UNESCO World Heritage –  a center of culture with a beautiful cathedral and the famous museum containing the best pictures or Toulouse-Lautrec, the Château de Degrés offers a view of the whole range of the Pyrenees in the distance.
