In the village of Saillagouse, mayor Georges Armengol and his team have imagined a unique place where relaxation, sport and nature meet. This wellness area, far from the noise of the road, has become an essential place, appreciated as much by locals as by passing tourists.
« This place is very popular, both by locals and tourists. underlines Mayor Georges Armengol. This space has everything to seduce: areas designed for children’s games, grilling areas for convivial moments, and a path allowing you to walk or do exercises.
Equipped with weight training equipment, the trail offers a sporting experience surrounded by nature. “ The idea is to offer a space for rest and rejuvenation, far from the noise of the road,” explains the mayor.
A Lively Natural Setting
The major asset of the site remains its natural setting, magnified by the Sègre, a river which crosses the place. Four bodies of water have been created, connected to each other, and bringing a particular charm to the whole. These bodies of water are not only beautiful: they are alive with local fauna, notably ducks and swans which delight young and old alike.
« This project meets our municipal ambition: controlling land, creating activities, permanent housing, but also spaces for well-being”specifies Georges Armengol.
A Paradise for Fishing Lovers
The space is also a favorite place for fishing enthusiasts. A local association allows young people to learn about the practice, particularly fly fishing. Not far from there, in the village of Err, there resides a world fly fishing champion, testifying to the importance of this discipline in the region.
A Project at the Service of All
The health, sport and nature area of Saillagouse is much more than just a place: it is a project designed to meet the needs of residents and energize the town. Between respect for the environment, conviviality and varied activities, this place is a real success which appeals to locals and visitors alike.
