Hamlet

The hamlet Here, in the heart of the hamlet, the terraces of the restaurants unfold joyfully onto old towpaths. There is an emblematic bookshop (housing upto 50,000 second-hand books) and stone vestiges from the 17th century. From either side of the Canal du Midi, you can admire the ancient bridge with its bell known as "feet in the water ”; the only building for this purpose that remains along the canal. There is also the old inn, which in its prime welcomed many sailors and travelers.

Somail is pleasant out of season and very popular during tourist periods. You can stroll leisurely in the sun, picnic next to the canal, browse books or rent a boat. Many cyclists and pilgrims on their way to St Jacques de Compostelle pass through the village
