A captivating opening in Tarn-et-Garonne: a new stage of charm revealed
The department of Tarn-et-Garonne continues to strengthen its attractiveness with the recent inauguration of a new emblematic place, located in an attractive town in the south-west of France. This Friday July 18, 2025, under radiant sunshine, the opening ceremony of the Pommevic gîte was a real event for the region. At the crossroads of sustainable tourism, social inclusion, and local development, this establishment constitutes an essential stopover for travelers, pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela, but also for local residents. This innovative project, supported by public and private actors, is part of a vision resolutely focused on authenticity and solidarity, while offering an enriching experience accessible to all. The approach, supported in particular by the Departmental Council, makes this town a charming stopover which could well appeal to a varied public, in search of nature, history, and authentic encounters. By relying on the image of places like Tarn-et-Garonne in full tourist reinvention, this initiative enriches the range of charming destinations already well established in the region. With this opening, a new page is being written for this village of 600 inhabitants, ready to establish itself as an example of integration and innovation in regional tourism.

The Pommevic stopover lodge: a unique place of hospitality in Tarn-et-Garonne
Located in the west of the department, the Pommevic stopover lodge represents a real transformation for the region. Its design, combining modernity and respect for local heritage, meets the highest standards of quality and hospitality. Able to accommodate a variety of travelers, it provides a charming stopover for cycle tourists, hikers, pilgrims, and simple tourists seeking authenticity. The unique feature of this establishment lies in its management entrusted to the “Terres de Garonne” ESAT (Educational Social Assistance), which allows people with disabilities to thrive in a rewarding professional environment. This model, already tested in other regions, promotes concrete social inclusion while guaranteeing quality service. The opening ceremony brought together a host of local and regional figures, from Pierre Bressolles, sub-prefect of Castelsarrasin, to Michel Weill, president of the Departmental Council, all of whom expressed unanimous support for the potential of this facility. Solidarity, hospitality, and the appreciation of work are thus emphasized in this project, which is part of a sustainable development approach.
