Listen to life differently, at the Domaine de Souladiès

Bird song is not just a backdrop

At dawn, long before engines or voices, the birds sing .

It's not just a sound routine: it's a fundamental biological rhythm, which opens the cycle of light, of growth... of life.

Bioacoustic research has shown that vibrations emitted by birds have a positive influence on the environment.

👉 Certain frequencies are even said to stimulate germination, plant growth and plant communication.

In other words: nature listens to the birds and responds to them.

The Domaine de Souladiès: a lively setting for better hearing

Here, in the heart of Tarn-et-Garonne ""where life resonates"" , just 45 minutes from Toulouse, the Domaine de Souladiès offers a rare environment in which to open up to listening.

Here, the sounds of nature are not covered, they are revealed.

Every morning, from the rooms or the terrace, we perceive the details that noise erases elsewhere.

Far from mechanical noises, natural sounds take their place.

You can really hear them, no equipment needed, just time and a little presence.

Walking to hear better

Around the Estate, the forest circuit trails are open to those who want to take their time.

Under the trees, between meadows or along small living hedges, each step becomes a form of attention.

These are not hikes. They are slow walks, guided by sounds:

📍 The song of a finch at the top of an oak tree,
📍 A discreet warbler in the hedge,
📍 The silence between two vocalizations.

Here, what we hear is part of the landscape .

To listen to, all day long

In the early morning: the chaffinch and the blackcap open the sound ball.

Then come the blue tits, agile and lively.

Around noon, the chiffchaff punctuates the air with its rapid notes.

In the afternoon, it is the blackbirds that take over, sometimes joined by the nuthatch or the discreet lesser spotted woodpecker.

These are not just names. They are audible presences, and a way of experiencing the place differently.

What you will experience here, concretely

• Wake up to the sound of birds, from your room or the terrace.
• Sensory walks, accessible to all, without waiting.
• A rediscovery of listening, even without recognizing each species.
• A preserved natural space, designed so that you can slow down without having to exert yourself.

In Souladiès, we don't impose anything, we leave room

What we offer is not a show, it is an opportunity to slow down, to reconnect and to give space to what we no longer listen to.

📍A place rich in living nature, marked seasons, and sounds that tell stories .

Arriving on foot at the Domaine de Souladiès: a break to the rhythm of Tarn-et-Garonne

A man arrives on foot at the Domaine de Souladiès . A simple, true scene. Here, Tarn-et-Garonne, "where life resonates," invites us to slow down. And that changes everything.

There are arrivals that don't make any noise.

No engine, no roller bag, no horn. Just the sound of footsteps on the path, the discreet rustle of a backpack, and the look of a dog that knows when someone is approaching.

It was Ribol who warned me this afternoon . A bark, short and measured. Someone is coming. On foot.

A simple arrival, which says a lot

I was expecting a couple!

But it was a lone man who arrived, on the main path, bag on his shoulder, calm expression.

""Hello, my name is Lionel.""

No need to say more.

Lionel walks, not to break a record, just to move forward! In his way of presenting himself, there was already the essential: presence, simplicity, sincerity.

The path as a threshold

Here at Domaine de Souladiès, arrivals aren't always planned. Sometimes, they're on foot, at just the right moment. This path that winds through our woods and gently leads to the house is not a shortcut.

Lionel wasn't looking for something, he knew where he was going.

Ribol, silent guardian of the Estate

Ribol doesn't jump on visitors. He observes, smells, and welcomes them in his own way. He knows the difference between a noise and a presence.

And when someone hits the right pace, they know it. That's also what slow tourism is all about: genuine encounters, lighthearted exchanges, and silences that matter.

Tarn-et-Garonne on foot and at your own pace

Around the Estate, Tarn-et-Garonne ""where life resonates"" offers what is needed for those who walk.

Cross roads, undergrowth, village squares still bustling with markets and the alleyways of Montauban

45 minutes from Toulouse, we change tempo.

No need to visit everything. Just take the time to enter a territory that still breathes its own rhythm.

"It's not where you go that matters, but how you get there."

What if your stay started as soon as you arrived?

You can come by car, of course! But you can also come differently. Not necessarily on foot. But with a different idea of the stay: a break, a return to yourself, to what's essential.

There's no rush here . The cottage is ready, and so is nature.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Finally reunited

Come and spend time with your family at Domaine de Souladiès , a peaceful place in Tarn-et-Garonne ""where life resonates!"" , 45 minutes from Toulouse. Share simple moments together.

The hardest thing, sometimes, is managing to all be there at the same time .

Between overflowing calendars, miles separating us, and growing children... reunions become precious.

So when they happen, we savor them, slowly and fully.

That morning, on the terrace of the Domaine, the table was ready.

No special occasion, no meticulous organization, just the pleasure of being together.

Three generations around a coffee, fresh bread and a few laughs, a little bruised by the alarm clock.

The taste of simple things

The sun is not yet beating down. It is gently warming the walls of the estate.

Around the table, we talk about crusty bread, strawberries picked the day before, we pass the bowls and smile for no reason.

There's no need for more, no big speech, just a table, a little time, and those we love within reach.

You don't find this kind of moment in a brochure. But you can experience it, in places designed for it.

Places where you are given time, where everything is there without being imposed.

The Estate as a meeting point

At the Domaine de Souladiès , in Tarn-et-Garonne , this kind of scene is not rare.

Here, families come to slow down, breathe and reconnect.

Some come to celebrate a milestone, others just because it was the right time.

And after breakfast?

Some leave stroll along the wooded paths around the estate and others choose to discover the treasures of the area: the alleys of Montauban, the lively markets, the peaceful country houses of the region ( Bruniquel , Montricoux , Puycelsi etc.).

Here, no one rushes; we live at our own pace and follow the day as it comes.

"Sometimes being together is enough to make a moment a memory."

What if the next photo was you?

There are still a few slots available for the coming months.

For a reunion, a romantic getaway, or simply a few days away from it all.

Here, we don't promise you anything extraordinary, but we offer you a setting conducive to what matters.

📍 Just 45 minutes from Toulouse, Domaine de Souladiès is easy to get to… and a little harder to leave.

See you soon, around a table, a shared meal, or a morning where silence is also part of the conversation .

Between nature, local breakfast and gentle discovery of Tarn-et-Garonne

The morning begins differently here, in the heart of nature

In the heart of Tarn-et-Garonne ""where life resonates!"", just 45 minutes from Toulouse, the Domaine de Souladiès offers a unique rhythm .

Here, we wake up to natural light, birdsong and the quiet rustling of trees.

No traffic noise, no hustle and bustle, just a moment of calm, almost suspended.

This is the kind of awakening that those who want to reconnect with what is essential seek.

A local, simple and seasonal breakfast

At Domaine de Souladiès, breakfast is an important moment.

Whether shared at the table d'hôte or prepared independently in the gîte, it always follows the same philosophy: local, fresh, and seasonal products.

On the table you can find:

• Strawberries picked a few steps away,
• Farmhouse yogurts from "" La Ferme des Tilleuls "",
• Crusty bread bought that very morning,
• Artisanal apple juice from "" Les Rives de l'Aveyron "",
• Homemade jams, made with care and patience.

This breakfast is a gentle way to start the day.

Here, we eat slowly. We take the time to put down our cups, savor them, and chat.

After coffee… Tarn-et-Garonne ""where life resonates!"" welcomes you with its arms

After this peaceful awakening, everyone chooses how to continue the day.

Some people go for a walk on the PR3 ""the forest circuit"" around the estate: forests, meadows, shaded paths await you.

Others take the road to Montauban.the pinkest of pink cities » city of art and history, with its National Square, its museums, its gourmet markets and its alleys where you can admire its warm facades.

Tarn-et-Garonne, "where life resonates!" , is a land to be discovered slowly, without pressure, just like the life we lead here.

Lovers of heritage, landscapes and good food will find discreet but profound treasures here.

Why choose Domaine de Souladiès for your next stay?

Story of a short seasonal moment at the Domaine de Souladiès

There are gestures that mark the return of sunny days.

Take the cushions off the terrace, cut the first tall grass, open the shutters earlier and then… clean the pool.

That's what I did this week.

The sky was blue, the water almost as clear as the morning light.

Several of you have asked me: "So, is the pool open?"

I smiled and gave in to your requests 15 days earlier than expected.

💦 The water was 24°.

And me? I need 28 to dare.

But hey... it seems that I'm not always the reference. 😅

The children, however, didn't ask any questions! They jumped, shouted, laughed, and the garden began to live to the rhythm of "More!" and "It was cold, but so good!"

I stayed back, not ready yet!

That's life here too! We do things when we feel ready, not before.

🌿 A place 45 minutes from Toulouse , and a world apart

The Domaine de Souladiès is a quiet corner in Tarn-et-Garonne where life resonates , a stone's throw from Montauban , where the days are slower and the decisions simpler.

Dive in or wait? Read or dream? Cook or share the table d'hôte? Walk or stay on the terrace?

This place is for those who like to choose their own pace, without obligation, without a watch and without a program.

📅 The weeks of May and June are here…

And the water temperature will continue to rise (slowly, like me).

If you're thinking about putting down your suitcases for a few days — to reconnect with nature, take a dip (or not), listen to the birds and simply breathe fresh air…

And who knows? Maybe when you arrive, you'll be braver than I am.

There are seasons that make no noise.

Spring arrives without us even realizing it and slowly sets everything in motion again.

At Domaine de Souladiès, the month of May arrives like a long, deep breath.

The light softens, the birds return to their place in the background sound, the colors return in touches.

Sometimes, in the early morning, a discreet visitor crosses the garden.

Neither in a hurry nor worried. He passes by, as if he already knows the place. Maybe it's the same one as last year? Maybe it's someone else?

But seeing it, we understand one thing: nature always returns at its own pace and without forcing.

🌿 Live with it, rather than right next to it

Domaine de Souladiès doesn't try to impress you!

He offers you something else: a peaceful interlude, in a corner of Tarn-et-Garonne where life resonates , where you can still hear the silence.

Here, we don't just look at nature. We live in it, we walk in it, we cook in it and we rest in it.

Often, it is our visitors themselves who tell us that this return to calm is good.

Because it soothes. Because it refocuses. Because it reminds us of what's essential.

You can come to do nothing, to read, chat, stroll, perhaps write.

If you feel like it, set off to explore Montauban , its narrow streets, its unique light, its gentle, aged atmosphere. All just a few kilometers from the Domaine de Souladiès.

All around, Tarn-et-Garonne, where life resonates, unfolds a landscape on a human scale, between characterful villages, producers' markets, and wooded paths to take without rushing.

🏡 A place to find yourself

Our cottage welcomes couples, families, friends... anyone who wants to slow down without sacrificing comfort, and enjoy a stay at the pace they choose.

Three bedrooms, a terrace opening onto nature, a kitchen for enjoying cooking and sharing.

🌿 At Domaine de Souladiès, time finds its true value

No unnecessary hustle and bustle here.

We get up when we want, we walk around without a specific goal , we share a simple and sincere meal.
