Nearest river beach is 5 minutes by car. The local Golf course is just 5 minutes down the hill. Mini quadbikes, paintball, and watersports, are all within 15 minutes drive.In summer months one festival runs into another in Montauban; there is a singing festival in June followed by a European Jazz festival, usually with international stars, and jamming sessions at various venues throughout the historic redbrick town of Montauban. This is followed by dance festivals in late summer. Because of the absence of pollution, most nights in summer are wonderful for stargazers and astronomers. From our field which is high with no trees, the sky is a joy to behold. Telescope evenings are not uncommon in August.
