Additional Description

Panat Family

The Panat family were owners of estates in the Haute-Garonne in the area around Toulouse, France. The Panats were connected by marriage with many other families, prominent among which were the families of de Brunet (later de Brunet de Castelpers), Toulouse-Lautrec, La Rochefoucauld, Saint Chamans, and Pujols. On their estates the Panats engaged in animal husbandry and agriculture. They were also influential in the arts, in commerce, and in local and national politics.
