Area ✧ bit far from notable sights but still lots to do, if tamer
✦ in the heart of the Sidobre famous for its many boulders
✦ could function as a rural mini-hub, there's 4 villages and many hamlets under 15mins for occasional gatherings, and drop-in coworking — even from the town
✦ the larger village does however have its own basic coworking (12 seats) with fablab, whilst the town has a larger one (25 seats), yet this space would likely be more casual and animated in order to be appealing to the members, creating a more engaging overlap across the communities
hikes from door, notably along river on old railway
✦ 20mins walk to tennis
✦ 15mins drive to bigger village of Brassac with a market
✦ Castres 20mins (nice bigger town), Albi 45mins (lovely small town), Mazamet 40mins, Revel 50mins (lovely small town), Gaillac 50mins
✦ Carcassonne / Gorges d'Heric / Saint Affrique are 1h20, thus suitable as monthly daytrips with stops on the way
✦ 769 bus 30mins castres, 12,5,6pm but no good for popping out as 7-12 or 1–5
✦ bus takes bikes but actually only 15mins more to cycle (45mins), thus daytrips to Albi (2h30), or even Mazamet and onwards on the greenway
✦ night train requires 1 change in Toulouse
