Since most of the Padiès site is written in English - our "native" language - try google to translate to the language you are comfortable using
Le Château de Padiès est un unique Renaissance Château complexe situe dans le Lauragais, pays du pastel, le pays de Cocagne, de Cathares, et le pays des Troubadours.
PADIES - A unique Renaissance Château estate set in the Lauragais of Pastel fame, Cathar country and the land of the Troubadours, the Château de Padiès and grounds offer a unique experience to the visitor in this region. While there are Historic Monuments to visit, and gardens to visit, and historical gardens to visit, and labyrinths to visit, and farms to visit, and organic farms to visit, and “development durable” projects to visit, and sculpture parks to visit………there is no one site that offers a combination of all of these – except for Padiès. “Les Jardins du Château de Padiès” are open to visitors from April to October.
