Home to about 1,335 residents, it lies northwest of Toulouse and is part of the historic Rivière-Verdun area of Gascony, surrounded by gently rolling countryside and farmland. The village is known for its historic heritage, particularly the Château de Launac, a castle dating mainly from the 15th century with later additions from the 16th and 17th centuries.

The commune also features a traditional church, a covered market hall, and other buildings that reflect its long history. Natural surroundings are an important part of Launac’s character, with streams, open countryside, and protected ecological areas contributing to its peaceful atmosphere. The village combines rural tranquility with convenient access to the larger city of Toulouse.
