Revel

The Montagne Noire defines the setting of Revel — its wooded foothills form an upland backdrop to the town’s orderly streets and central square. Founded in 1342 as a royal bastide, Revel still follows the grid plan characteristic of these medieval planned towns. The covered market hall remains the focal point of the square, especially during the long-established Saturday market. Nearby, the Saint-Ferréol reservoir was created in the 17th century to help supply the Canal du Midi, linking this corner of Occitanie to one of France’s major engineering works.
