Mas Cantegril
An old family farm turned into eco-friendly accomodations and reception place
This old Toulousan farm in an ecological transition is located in Montesquieu Lauragais, 30km in the south of Toulouse. It has been established by Fanny’s parents. Fanny has now taken over and proposes a place for ecological tourism.
Her mother is from Toulouse, his father comes from Nice. True lover of her Southern roots, Fanny has converted the farm into “Mas Cantegril”.
“Mas” means “farm” in Provencal, and “Cantegril” comes from the Occitan “song of crickets”.
The Mas Cantegril is a cosy place gathering second-hand elements restored with care by Fanny and Daisy, her sister.
