Muret

Muret is a commune in Haute-Garonne south of Toulouse and functions as an administrative center with multiple public services. The town houses hospitals, schools, and administrative buildings that serve the local population.

The Battle of Muret in 1213 was a decisive moment when Simon de Montfort's forces defeated a coalition army. This event fundamentally reshaped the region's political landscape.

The François Mitterrand Media Library and Clément-Ader Museum show local artworks and stories through regular exhibitions that reflect the community's identity. These spaces serve as gathering places where residents connect with their heritage.

The best time to explore is early morning or late afternoon when public spaces are less crowded. The museums and media library offer air-conditioned spaces for visits on warmer days.

Archaeological findings show that people have lived here since the Stone Age through several prehistoric periods. These long settlement traces make the place interesting for understanding human history.
