The ATP Tennis Tournament: A quality plateau presents many international players among the top 200 worldwide.

Every year, a hamlet in the Condom area plays host to participants in this traditional game. The game is still played today in a few regions, so it was only natural that the Gascons invited other shuffleboard specialists to come and discover their way of playing. These world championships bring together over a hundred players of all ages to enjoy themselves. An event not to be missed for its guaranteed conviviality!

The Traces du Fromage de Laguiole is undoubtedly one of the most popular walks in Aveyron. Combining walking and gastronomy, it attracts over 2,000 participants every year, who cover between 12 and 21 kilometers on foot, snowshoes or skis. From buron to buron, the stages offer the chance to dine on delicious Aubrac produce: Laguiole PDO cheese, mulled wine, gentian, fouace, aligot... You've got to admit, it makes you want to keep going, doesn't it?

In the family "Toulousains aux idées folles" I ask for... the festival in a golf course! You know it, the pink city is placed under the sign of the conviviality (toqué ascendant). No reason not to find it on the greens of the region. It is thus the Ugolf de la Ramée which sticks to it. Renowned for its calm in normal times, it comes alive in September for a weekend not quiet at all: afterworks, concerts, food-truck ... Ah, and an introduction to golf, by the way! The setting is superb, by the lake, relaxation assured, in an atmosphere that reminds us why we are always in a hurry to be in summer. A good idea to bring together beginners and advanced players.

International-level cyclosportive. Over 4,000 participants expected between Tarascon-sur-Ariège and Les Cabannes via the Ariège passes, Croix des Morts, Pailhères and Chioula. Four routes (from 69 km to 169 km): this year there's even the Ariègeoise XXL! Most of the three routes take place in the Pays d'Olmes, crossing the Plantaurel massif, the foothills of the Ariège Pyrenees. The 153 km Ariegeoise course has gone down in history as "La cyclosportive des Pyrénées". The finish is at Les Cabannes. The total vertical drop is 3,128 m!

In the Tarn region of France, the Festival des Sports Traditionnels (Traditional Sports Festival) invites fans and the curious to come and discover traditional sports from cultures that reflect the rich and varied heritage of the Occitanie region.

In correlation with the Total Festum cultural festival, Occitan and Catalan culture takes center stage!
