Daux: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The Château de Lalo has three square towers with small loopholes; the fourth tower has disappeared. In 1760, the château was extensively renovated and later restored several times. It is privately owned and cannot be visited.

Those choosing Daux as a holiday destination may wish to rent a holiday apartment.

Culture and History

The 17th-century Château de Peyrolade in the centre of the village was part of the village’s fortifications. In 1626, it was raised and fitted with battlements and weather vanes. The former walls and deep moats of the fortified village of Daux can still be recognised by their traces today.

The bell tower of the Église Saint-Barthélémy is an octagonal brick structure dating from the 14th century and a historic monument. It is considered typical of the Toulouse region. The bell tower was used as a defensive tower; guards protected the village with three small cannons. Inside the Église Saint-Barthélémy is a very large collection of stained-glass windows.

Nature

The Bouconne Forest is designated as a ZNIEFF and is home to rare plant and animal species. It covers more than 2,700 hectares, 160 of which are within the municipality of Daux, and has been protected since 2009.

The Boucle de Daux is a circular walking route that starts and ends in Daux. It offers a panorama of the Save Valley, follows the Ribarot stream and passes through the Poterne de l'Isle, a narrow passage between the houses.

Local Life

Every Friday evening, Daux hosts the “Le coin gourmand” market, featuring delicious local products and prepared dishes.
