SURROUNDING AREA: Here in the Tarn, the rich & contrasting scenery varies from plains to hills to mountains, and you are never far from places to explore and sights to visit:

Interesting & colourful street-markets at nearby RABASTENS, LISLE/ TARN, and GAILLAC where some of the oldest wine producing vineyards are to be found.

Beautiful historic towns and medieval « bastides » walled villages are all around. CORDES is a gem of Gothic architecture on its « sugar loaf » 110m high. - Visit the 12th century cathedral of ALBI, birth town of the artist Toulouse Lautrec.

Also vibrant and very cosmopolitan pink-brick TOULOUSE (“La Ville Rose”), with its beautiful squares, fashionable pavement cafés, chic shops and many art galleries/museums. For day trips the nearest MEDITERRANEAN beach is just under 2 hours, the PYRENEES are also only 2 hours away.

This is a very brief taste of things to see & do around.
