The national forest of Grésigne is around 9000 acres of pure liberty. It’s Europe’s biggest forest of sessile oak and a place that is both wild and unique. A rich variety of wildlife lives here and you will often see stags, deer, otters, weasels and more than a hundred different varieties of nesting birds. The Grésigne provided firewood and some carpentry, wood for the staves used in the cooperage for Gaillac wine, charcoal until the 1950s and wood for the furnaces of the Grésigne glassmakers, the last of whom died out in 1850. The rationally exploited and maintained forest is today a place for big game hunting. The highest point (Montoulieu, 480m) of the primary era, made of sandstone, gave its name to the Grésigne forest. The surrounding plateaus are from the Jurassic period (secondary era) and are composed of limestone. The Romans having occupied the Grésigne, there remain oppida (earthen mounds used for defense), vestiges of camps and a Roman road on the territory of Puycelsi. A protected nature with an exceptional fauna and flora, an enchanting place where reigns the mystery of a great secret, the glassmakers of Grésigne.

The lavoirs had the function of being a privileged social place: they were a meeting place for women in the 19th century and were a place of work for the laundry. In Septfonds, you will find several washhouses: 1) At the entrance to the hamlet of Alliguières. 2) Chemin de Millières, near the Daudou stream. 3) Hameau de Lalande - At the bottom of a path opposite the Judes Camp Memorial 4) Near the cemetery, place du 19 mars 1962: fed by the city water.

Land of stone and straw, land of memory, the history of Septfonds goes back very far to prehistoric times: numerous dolmens attest to this very ancient human presence. This southwestern town benefits from the creative spirit of Pétronille Cantecor who discovered straw braid to make hats. From the beginning of the 19th century, Pétronille Cantecor and her lineage made the reputation and wealth of this village thanks to the development of the hat industry, thousands of people worked with hats and headgear was fashionable. Among the families working in the millinery, there is that of Dieudonné Costes. In 1927, the famous Septfonois aviator Dieudonné Costes made the first crossing of the Atlantic, the Septfonois have reason to be proud of their “Ace”! But the prosperity of the village was disrupted in 1939, when the state decided to establish the Jude camp intended for the internment of refugees fleeing the Spanish Civil War. Septfonds then experiences a new page in its history. Follow the small paths and stroll... discover the wash houses, dovecotes, bridges and the church of Septfonds. Did you know that the name of the village owes its name to the presence of seven springs? And yes, in Occitan we say “sét-fonts”!

The Thouron Fountain, formerly known as the "Fontaine Vermeille Installed on the edge of the old moat is the Thouron fountain, an emblematic fountain in Caussade. In the basement, two vaulted rooms housing pools were made accessible by a double-flight staircase. In the middle of the 19th century, the stairs were buried and the monumental fountain built above one of the pools. Thanks to a pumping system, the Caussadais collected the water which then came out of two cast iron lion heads. The stairs were brought to light again during a restoration and enhancement campaign for the building that began in 2012. Its function at this time still remains undetermined: was it used to supply water to part of the city's ditches? Or to feed the gardens installed outside the ramparts? Today, the fountain consists of a limestone pedestal in neoclassical style. The pedestal is decorated with garlands of oak and laurel leaves which highlight the coat of arms of the town of Caussade: a tower (it refers to the ancient castle of Caussade) and a stocking (legend of the fairy). Guided tours by the Tourist Office from June to September.

In the heart of the former bastide of Septfonds, dive into three local histories that have shaped great History: the hat-making industry, the life of Dieudonné Costes, a pioneer of aviation, and the memories of the Judes camp (1939–1945). At La Mounière, discover: - The straw hat and the birth of a thriving industry It was in Septfonds, at the end of the 19th century, that a prosperous industry developed: straw hat making. At its peak, 7 million hats were produced each year, spreading the village’s reputation far beyond the region. - Aviation through the life of Dieudonné Costes A native of the area, he achieved in 1930, together with Maurice Bellonte, the first nonstop flight from Paris to New York aboard The Question Mark. An extraordinary human and technical adventure that left a lasting mark on aviation history. - 1939–1945: the Judes camp and policies for the reception of foreigners deemed undesirable The camp memorial and other places of remembrance in the village extend the reflection and the visit. At La Mounière, the visit is an experience: – a scenographic exhibition space – places of remembrance, including the camp memorial and its permanent exhibition and the spanish cemetery – themed walking routes through the village Exhibitions, lectures, guided tours, concerts, workshops… the program sets the rhythm of the year and turns every visit into a lively and enriching experience. Three memories, one shared invitation: understanding the past to shed light on the present. So, are you ready to be surprised?

The hat has deeply marked the village of Septfonds in its buildings and in its memories. Very early on, from an activity using a local raw material, for a local market, the hat-making activity, which became industrial, became part of international imports/exports, leading straw and hat makers to travel!
