Departure from Launac (Haute-Garonne)
In the 12th century, a castle and a fortified village were built by the Viscounts of Gimoes. The castle became the property of the Counts of L'Isle Jourdain. Launac was the site of the bloody Battle of Palot. After a period of calm, the seigneury passed into the hands of Toulouse parliamentarians, sparking a conflict over feudal rights. The inhabitants resisted and even emigrated for years. After the Revolution, the market hall and church were rebuilt, a school was created and the ramparts were demolished.
