The Operational Council of the Pays Rignacois Tourist Office, meeting on October 19, 2026 in Rignac, unanimously re-elected Isabelle Mirabel as president. Gilles Acquier, mayor of Bournazel, and Jean-Louis Bessière were appointed vice-presidents. This new term aims to enhance visitor reception, develop tourism offerings, and promote the riches of the entire Pays Rignacois.
The Tourist Office, an administrative public service of the Communauté de communes du Pays Rignacois, handles reception, information, promotion, and coordination of tourism stakeholders. Its Operational Council comprises 33 members, including 17 community councilors and 16 representatives from local tourism actors.
The reappointment of Isabelle Mirabel and the designation of her vice-presidents aim to continue the work for a destination that values its heritage, landscapes, and know-how. The castles of Belcastel and Bournazel are considered essential tourism drivers for the area.
The ambition is to encourage visitors to explore beyond the emblematic sites by offering a diverse experience across the territory. Priorities include improving reception services, particularly in catering, and developing offerings for cycle tourists. Close cooperation between the Tourist Office, associations, accommodation providers, restaurateurs, and site managers is deemed necessary.
In July and August 2026, the three reception offices welcomed approximately 4,400 people. The territory also offers over 1,200 commercial beds in tourist accommodations. These figures highlight the importance of tourism for the Pays Rignacois.
