PBI Collection® — "Poetics of Permanence" Situated in the HauteGaronne department, on the Occitan plain, Roquettes captivates with the preserved beauty of its landscapes. Nestled where treelined riverbanks meet the outskirts of Toulouse, this village offers a setting perfectly suited to modern needs, while remaining true to its foundational roots. ROOTED IN HISTORY Before becoming a family home, this property was a 17thcentury métairie (tenant farm) linked to the monastic past of Roquettes. Since the late 15th century, the village had cultivated woad—an iconic dye plant of the Lauragais and "Pays de Cocagne" regions. The property stands as a testament to this precious heritage.
