An authentic residential workshop in the heart of Occitania, at an altitude of 900 metres in the Haut-Languedoc Regional Natural Park.

Our specialists in Occitan language and culture (Julie and Joana), together with health prevention specialists from the PENut’S association, will give us a warm welcome for a unique workshop experience. The aim is to extend the principles of sustainable development to the fields of Occitan language and culture, with a long-term vision to ensure their preservation for future generations.

Awarded the Green Key eco-label, Domaine du Moulinet is a place to relax and recharge, surrounded by forests and nature. Guests can enjoy delicious, healthy regional cuisine, lovingly prepared by the Auberge du Cabaretou. Located in Le Soulié, near La Salvetat-sur-Agout, the estate offers quality accommodation and facilities (living area, private bathroom facilities, kitchen, bedroom and terrace) in a peaceful park surrounded by unspoilt nature.
