Below are just a selection of things to do and see.

Carcassonne, Auch (look out for D'Artagnan), Cathar chateaux and hilltop villages are all within driving distance. Also good for a day trip are the Pyrenees, the Canal du Midi, Albi, Lourdes and Rocamadour.

The Great Outdoors

The Midi-Pyrénées is essentially a rural area, with beautiful landscapes: hills and mountains where nature holds on to the character of its origins, countryside dotted with valleys and delightful villages, vast lakes and clear rivers, extraordinary places such as the Tarn Gorge, the Aveyron Gorge, the Lot Valley and the Dordogne Valley.

To the south, rises the magnificent Pyrenees mountain range, reaching up to 3,000 metres, forming a border with Spain. Of particular interest is the Cirque de Gavarnie and Ponts d'Espagne.

Being Sporty

Many flavours of sporting activity are catered for within easy reach of the B & B - golf, tennis, watersports, cycling, rambling and horse riding, to name but a few.

Festivals and Events

The Jazz in Marciac (JIM) festival in August attracts artists great and small from the world over. Evening concerts usually require advance booking, whilst free musical entertainment continues throughout the day in the town square, superbly complemented by market stalls, outdoor restaurants and a host of bars. JIM also now boasts year-round events and a masterclass programme.
