Pibrac is a commune in the Haute-Garonne department in southwestern France, located 15 km west of Toulouse.
It has recently grown up thanks to the development of the plane industry in the nearby city of Blagnac. It has a skating rink. It was the birthplace of Saint Germaine Cousin.
The Château de Pibrac is a converted 16th century castle which is listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.[1]
