Among it's historic sites, is Lourdes, the famous pilgrimage site where Sainte Bernadette is said to have spoken to the Virgin Mary in a grotto. Cahors is now famous for it's wines which are reasonably priced, high quality products that have earned their recent increased popularity on the world market. Regional capital : Toulouse Departments of the Midi-Pyrénéés are: Aveyron, Tarn et Garonne, Tarn, Hautes Pyrénées, Gers, Haute Garonne, Ariège and Lot.
