EXPERIENCE THE LOCAL LIFE
From the accommodation you can see, in a distance, a magnificent fortified town of Cordes-sur-Ciel. It boasts an exceptional Gothic heritage in which all phases are represented. Make sure you will take a walk in this medieval town as it is a real enchantment, especially as the streets are lined with craft shops and artists' galleries.

The accommodation is located 25 km from Albi, capital of the Tarn department. It is indisputably the most interesting small city in the Midi-Pyrenees region. If you go there, don't miss St. Cecilia's cathedral which has always been a remarkable and unique monument, being both fortified and built of brick. Next to the cathedral stands the similarly massive and fortified Bishop's palace, part of which now houses the magnificent Salon of the Rue des Moulins Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec - Salon rue des Moulins Toulouse Lautrec museum. When you're done with sightseeing, take a little break in one of the cafes or restaurants.

If you'd like to explore vineyards, go to Gaillac which is also 25 km away.

The Association Cheval Affaires neighboring the accommodation rescues horses, "lodges" them in meadows all around the house, and offers rides and activities with horses, mounted or on foot.
