With the three major rivers of the Aveyron, the Tarn and the Garonne running through it, the department of Tarn-et-Garonne, known for its pleasant way of life, offers a range of varied landscapes, alternating between plains and hills scattered with fields and orchards, wild gorges, limestone plateaus and sloping vineyards. Its pleasant countryside, dotted with many dovecotes, invites fans of outdoor activities to explore it by taking a walk, horse ride, cycle tour or mountain bike ride. As well as these natural attractions you will find wonderful heritage buildings, with mediaeval towns such as Bruniquel, Caylus and Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, an abbey listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a town of Art and History called Montauban. A stay in Tarn-et-Garonne is also an opportunity to taste delicious local produce, like the famous Chasselas grape and duck specialities. A full programme to be enjoyed without moderation!
