Discover Mirabel and Find Hotels

Mirabel offers a range of options for planning your trip: Lac de Requech, walks among orchards and heritage sites, an evening market, and a hot-air balloon ride. Each has its own conditions to consider when planning, such as market hours, weather, or the need to make an appointment.

Lake, Orchards and Walks

The man-made Lac de Requech spans the communes of Mirabel and Réalville. The PR2 “Circuit des vergers” route runs alongside the lake. You can walk around the lake and picnic there; check the current visiting conditions before your trip. This makes the lake a distinct focus for a stay, separate from the other walking opportunities.

The slopes of Mirabel are also dotted with orchards where various fruits are grown. On the MIRABEL – PR2 walk, you can see local producers’ orchards and the Romanesque church of Notre-Dame-des-Misères. The route is recommended as a morning walk in nature. Check local route conditions before setting out. The lake and orchards therefore offer two different reasons to spend time outdoors: a walk by the water or a morning hike with views of cultivated land and the church.

Chapelle Notre Dame des Misères

A distinctive architectural feature of Chapelle Notre Dame des Misères is its stone bell tower: it is octagonal, has two levels, and dates from the 16th century. The tower is considered a rare example of the Toulouse school and is protected as a historic monument. The chapel was also a place of pilgrimage, visited by people from neighboring départements to fulfill vows.

The statue’s history is also part of the site: a stolen wooden statue was replaced with a bronze work by Jean-François Leroy, a sculptor from Mirabel. Together with the Romanesque church of Notre-Dame-des-Misères, which is a point of interest along the MIRABEL – PR2 walk, this heritage offers a different way to discover Mirabel than its landscapes and orchards.

Evening Market and Local Produce

For 2026, the weekly evening market is scheduled for Fridays from 6 to 9 p.m. under the market hall in the village square. Check the hours before your trip. Market-season offerings include local produce such as fruit and vegetables, cheese, meat and fish, bread, ice cream, honey, plants, and wine, as well as prepared food. The selection may vary. If you would like to make a market visit the focus of an evening, Friday is the stated market day.

The farmers’ market also offers the opportunity to taste and eat produce straight from producers’ farms. This experience is seasonal; check the current program in advance. Domaine de Laffitte sells fruit juices, sparkling drinks, and vinegar directly or through resellers. Its fruit production includes Chasselas de Moissac grapes, apples, pears, and kiwis. If you would like your fruit processed, the business presses, filters, and pasteurizes apples, grapes, pears, and fruit blends into juice by appointment. Confirm the appointment and availability with the business in advance.

Hot-Air Balloon Ride and Practical Planning

The Montgolfière à Vol d’Oiseau association offers hot-air balloon passenger flights from Mirabel. As a passenger, you can take part in preparing the equipment and inflating the balloon. Flights take place throughout the year, but depend on the weather and are scheduled at dawn or late in the day. Confirm your booking and the weather conditions with the provider in advance.

The “Mirabel, between slopes and orchards” offer includes an experience that is independently accessible by wheelchair. Confirm the conditions before your visit. The walk, market, heritage sites, and balloon ride offer different focuses for planning your trip. Shape your stay around your interests and find suitable hotels in Mirabel.
