Situated at the confluence of the Viaur and Aveyron rivers, Laguépie, once famous for its chestnut markets, is located on a sort of peninsula, half land, half water, on the border with the departments of Aveyron and Tarn (to which the commune of Saint-Martin-Laguépie belongs).

Laguépie has preserved a small industrial sector thanks to its safety shoe factory (90 employees), its quarry and its aromatic plant distillery. A frontier village, Laguépie has preserved its shops and medical sector. At the crossroads between Najac, Cordes and Saint Antonin Noble Val, in the heart of the Aveyron valley, it is an important tourist destination in the summer season. For the younger members of the family, there is a crèche, a school and a leisure centre where you can learn and have fun on the spot.

Laguépie is a lively village with a weekly market, an Occitan summer university, a chestnut festival, a motocross track and, in summer, white-water bathing on the Viaur with lifeguards...
