L’Isle-Jourdain

On the Occitanie Rail Tour

Discover L’Isle-Jourdain

L’Isle-Jourdain is a pleasant stopover in the Save Valley. The town hall is clearly inspired by the Capitole in Toulouse, but without the columns.

In L'Isle-Jourdain, you will discover the home of Claude Augé, the founder of the well-known French dictionary “Petit Larousse Illustré”. Admire the glass roof, sculptures and especially its Art Nouveau stained glass windows, including one representing the famous Sower, based on a design by Eugène Grasset.
