At the crossroads…
Boissezon is often the point of arrival and departure of a stage of Saint-Jacques de Compostelle, to then enter Castres. Located on the Arles road, our village arrives after the “mountain” before returning to the plain of Castraise.
The nature that surrounds it is rich and varied. In addition, Boissezon is also the starting point for several hiking circuits.
Goal for Peace
“Le Militarial” is a Memorial Peace Museum. Located in an old 11th century fort, this museum looks back on the armed conflicts of the 20th century via a multitude of costumes, objects and numerous works. Vast, it thus contains more than 5000 (!) Military objects. This museum is of real historical interest, to come and discover.
