Saint‑Sulpice
Spend 1 day in Saint‑Sulpice, arrive by train or car from Toulouse; explore river walk, market and Castella ruins – no need to stay overnight.
Saint‑Sulpice is a small Tarn‑department village of about 9 000 people at the Tarn‑Agout confluence. It is reachable by TER trains and the A68 motorway, and its compact centre makes a half‑day walk enough to see the river promenade, weekly market, ruined Castella and local parks.

Etiquette, safety and scams
Etiquette
- Greeting: Say 'bonjour madame/monsieur' on entering any shop, bus or office; avoid: Asking a question before saying bonjour — it is read as rude

- Addressing people: Use 'vous' and titles until invited otherwise; avoid: First names and 'tu' with older people or staff
- Restaurants: Wait to be seated in restaurants; call the waiter 'monsieur' or 'madame'; avoid: 'Garçon', snapping fingers, asking for the bill before you are finished
- Conversation: Debate is a pleasure; food, politics and philosophy are fair game; avoid: Asking about salary or religion; loud voices on trains
- Dinner at a home: Bring flowers (not chrysanthemums), chocolates or a good bottle; arrive 10–15 minutes late; avoid: Cutting the tip off a cheese wedge or asking for ketchup
- Dress: Smart-casual in cities; covered shoulders in churches; avoid: Beachwear in town centres
