Labastide-Murat, formerly known as Labastide-Fortunière, owes its name to Joachim Murat, a native of this village. This flamboyant historical figure was the son of an innkeeper. Under Napoleon I, and thanks to his military exploits, he became Marshal of the Empire and King of Naples. By imperial decree of Napoleon III, the village changed its name on April 15, 1852.

Labastide-Murat, at the exit of the highway where you will find a supermarket, a few shops, cafes, and a bakery all located in the center.

Interesting little museum about Joachim Murat (1767-1815), one of Napoleon's most important generals. He was born and grew up in this village inn. Napoleon Bonaparte appointed him King of Naples.
