Muret

Among the towns of Occitania, Muret stands out for its position on the Garonne south of Toulouse and its place in medieval European history. The Battle of Muret, fought here in 1213, was a decisive conflict of the Albigensian Crusade: Simon de Montfort’s forces defeated the army of Peter II of Aragon. Muret is also the birthplace of Clément Ader, the French engineer and aviation pioneer. Today, the town combines a working riverside setting with easy links to the Toulouse metropolitan area and the wider Haute-Garonne countryside.
