Walking

Detailed maps and walking guides are available for your use and we are only too willing to provide advice on organising your sightseeing trips.
In the neighbouring area, there are well maintained tracks for beautiful walks, as there are GRs or 'Grande randonnée' (of which one is only 500 metres away) and GPS-walks.

Biking

Bicycle hire is readily available : In the north of the Lot-et-Garonne, there are five signed bycicle tracks varying between 50 and 100 km in length.
Adjacent to the River Lot, there is a flat bicycle track covering 80 km. But for the adventurous bikers, they can discover for themselves many other new and beautiful tracks.


Navigating

The River Dordogne, River Lot and Canal du Midi provide many opportunities for canoeing and sailing within beautiful landscape.

Climbing, flying, floating ...

For the adventurist, 'Parc en Ciel' offers harnessed walking on ropes providing a walking track amongst the treetops.
The area also provides many other exciting activities including go-carting, quad, tyrolienne, caving, ultra light flying and hot-air ballooning.

Golf playing, horse riding...

Five kilometers away, there is a golf course, horse riding facilities, and a swimming lake.
For the littles or young at heart, there is also a mini-golf.

Wellness

For fitness, wellbeing and relaxation is 'Eurothermes' only 58 km's away, in Casteljaloux.

Markets and festivals

For a more relaxed outing, you can hop on board a tourist train trip and meander amongst one of the many markets.
During the summer months there are many festivals including singing, music, dance, theatre, historic recreations, 'ripalhous', food fairs of local producers markets, bodegas (village celebrations), and even a corrida. All well within striking distance.

Wine

For wine tasting, its all there !! Cancon, where the old vinyards have been replaced with plum and hazelnut orchards, is the springboard to a rich wine region including Monbazillac, Bergerac, Buzet, Duras en Marmande, and a little further including Cahors, Saint-Emilion and Bordeaux.
