Local attractions

The village is surrounded by beautiful  countryside, with many established walking and cycling routes.  The canal de deux mers is 18 kms as is the confluence of the Tarn and Garonne rivers.  There is a pretty park behind the house for a more leisurely stroll.

The region is full of delightful cultural sites within easy striking distance - a few of the best are:

1.  Lachapelle

an extraordinary baroque chapel in a medieval village.

2. The cloisters at L'abbaye Saint Pierre, a UNESCO site at Moissac.

3.  Auvillar, listed as one of the most beautiful villages in France.

4. Gramont, a renaissance chateau.

5. Cistercian Abbaye de Belleperche , with decorative arts museum.

6. Lectoure, beautiful town with archeology museum and antiques village.

I am compiling a book of walking circuits and routes which are easily accessible from the house.  

The chemin de Saint Jacques de Compostelle passes about 10 kms away.
