In June 2021, Jean-Christophe Carcenac set up a hotel-restaurant at the La Croix de Mille area, a strategic crossroads along the 2X2 Toulouse-Albi-Rodez road. This two-star structure includes, upstairs, 14 bedrooms and two seminar rooms for a surface area of 200 m2. On the ground floor, there is a 130 m2 restaurant room and a large 230 m2 room for seminars, congresses and other events. For two years, Jean-Christophe Carcenac has been organizing tea dances and traditional balls in his establishment.
