Interesting caves and worth a visit but there are lots of stairs once inside. The train wasn't running when we arrived which meant a 400m walk up a gentle incline before we even started. Train was running on the way out - it is very cosy!

Fantastic place ,we were the only ones there Fantastic light show to music, we saw plenty of bats ....

Beautiful cave with underground lakes and lots of stairs. A small train takes you up hill after which you have to walk a good 400 steps on a stair to get you to the first room. It is worth the visit, though it is a very busy cave with long waiting lines.

Interesting visit in a cave that is above the ground. First part of the journey is done via a small little train that brings at the main hall, after which two branches - one at left and one at right -brings in two well protected and well preserved abyss.

A fantastic family visit. I seriously can't fault this place. Well worth a visit if you are ever in the area of Rocamadour.

Lovely cave! Big chambers with nice little lakes and beautiful formations. Lighting is very nicely done highlighting the different structures in the cave. The train is a very nice surprising start and end to the tour, you will feel your legs after cause there is a lot of stairs to climb and descent, but very doable.

The UV display is impressive but other than a few pretty formations there's not huge amount to see. English tour is given as a pamphlet, but you're underground in the dark so you can't actually read it!

Well presented park with very happy and healthy looking primates. Easy walking path, a nice little shop and small restaurant at the end, with a play area for the kids. Highly recommended.

Amazing experience! All the staff I spoke to spoke good English and were very friendly. The route was very informative, with signs displaying the monkey’s social structure, diet, and ecosystem. The monkeys, of North African origin have plenty of space, and you can really get up close to them as they roam freely across the paths. The information office also has useful leaflets for other attractions in the area. The fairly well priced entry allows you to stay for as long as you like, however a family group price would have been nice.

Really fun for kids and a beautiful park. The food offered is high quality. Love to see the improvements they have made over the years!

Lovely place, knowledgeable staff. Monkeys free roaming, mid way round are some breathtaking views of the Dordogne. Definitely worth a visit, I will definitely return when I'm back down that part of the world 🌎

Very interesting and easy to get up close to the monkeys. The staff are very friendly and very knowledgeable. Great place to visit as adults or children!

This place is amazing! the monkey's roam free all around you in the park. Loved the talk also.

The Monkey Forest is very cool and has beautiful views of Rocamadour, but we had a frustrating experience that I think could be helpful for others to know about when planning a trip there. On the weekend the park is open is the mornings from 10-12. We arrived with our 2.5 year old at 11 and after walking in we were told we needed to hurry to make it through the 1km path before 12. We were not worried, everyone was walking just fine. By 11:30 the park employees started following us down the path telling us to hurry up. Clearly more concerned about missing a minute of lunch than visitors having a nice experience. At that point we were only 10 minute walk from our car and we told them we were not worried about making it out by 12. But they insisted that we were being very slow and they kept pestering us and making our time less than fun and rushing along our toddler when he was just starting to really enjoy watching the monkeys. I wanted a refund after this experience but the office was closed by 11:45 when we make it back to the parking lot with 15 minutes to spare. I really wish they had told us that they expect you to run as fast as you can through the park and that you will be harassed if your not out by 11:30 (eventhough they close for lunch 12-1 officially). Instead of sympathy when we expressed exasperation for the 3 employee flanking and berating) we received sarcasm and criticism. Not a very nice was to treat your guests monkey forest, I hope you will try to do better in the future and that others are aware that they should arrive at 10 for the morning walk if you don’t want to get this kind of treatment.

It's a nice place to visit, many birds like vultures, eagles, owls and a nice collection of parrots. The show itself is wonderful. Having said this all. It's a pity the French don't give shows in English. The staff is pretty good in English but the show itself is in French. I see this as contempt for non-French speaking tourists which were when I was there at least 40 percent if us.

The flying display was really good. First time we had seen parrots and macaws actually flown freely.

absolutely recommend going to the bird show. Not in english but still an incredible show. Only downside felt some of the birds didn’t look too happy. Still would recommend to any one to visit.

Brilliant way to spend an afternoon watching Birds of Prey fly off into the sky, enjoy themselves for 20-30minutes then come back to handlers who were performing with other birds. For the kids they had Condors walk over their legs, fed parrots and kestrel, had owl on head and handled a little owl. Some got to be part of the demonstration feeding flying birds. Took up 3 hours easily for €11 each, drinks over the same time span would have been far more expensive. Go!

It was amazing! Warning: the entire program was in French. As a non-French speaker I still enjoyed the show immensely!

Very informative and the displays are really cool... My daughter had a falcon, an owl and parrot on her arm.. I had an owl on my head... Super cool for all ages....

It was an amazing experience 🥰😍

Beautiful religious place. It does get very crowded however. Still the scenery is beautiful and the energy holds something special.

An amazing Pilgrimage Church built against a cliff, which resides the famous Black Madonna. From here you can also follow the stations of the cross too the summit of the hill.

Worth probably the visit once in your life during off peak hours to avoid the crowds side of the site, though you have to pay for everything : parking, entrance, lift etc ... and what about these shops and so-called restaurants ? Nothing to do with faith or pilgrimage

Absolute stunning attraction. Visited a few view points and the interior is stunning and awesome. Shops are interesting too. Took a train ride from the bottom to the top. It's very squeeze for the vehicles but all in all, it's worth it. Have an ice cream before you leave.

Such a stunning place. The buildings are all built into the cliffs. There is a lift or stairs to take you up there. I believe the lift cost 2euros one way but I'm not 100% sure.

This place has his own aura. It's impressive when you look up and see the castle on the top of the "hill". And when you take a look to the overall, it seems like a place took from a fairy tale. It has an elevator to move to the top or the bottom, but it cost around 4€. Even so, I recommend walking to discover all the smalls secrets hidden in this place

Last year, when I walk GR65 from Le Puy-en-Velay to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port I have, accidentally, visit this unbelievable graceful place. I'm Catholic priest so I put attention to the quietness and peacefulness of particular place of prayer. I can say that the calmness and quietness of this place estonished me. Of course I'm not talking about "upper" church but about chapel underneath the place of tourists. I highly recommend this place for everyone who is seeking for the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Mother Immaculate Mary. God bless everyone+

We have been here many times. Always very interesting. It's a great day out for the family.

Very well kept animals Park, very clean and family friendly. Animals are well kept and very clean. Multiple activities to take part in or watch, feeding of the bear and the pelicans. Child friendly petting farm including goats, sheep, donkeys, chickens, ducks/geese and rabbits. Buy animal feed for just €1.50 from the bar for best experience at the petting farm. Employees are very friendly. Highly recommended family activity

Great animal park! Wolves, bears, all sorts of other animals big and small. It is quite a walk, but the lunch they serve is amazing. It is minimum a 1/2 day visit, we were there longer as a 4 year old can only walk so fast. Highly recommended.

Excellent place to visit 😀 we'll set out and under shade plenty of animals and birds to see

One of the nicest annimal park we have been. We spent a fantastic time in a lovely place where the animals are being treated with love amd the personal us charming.

We really enjoyed the zoo. An abundance of baby goats to feed, bears playing in the water and lots for the children to do as well 🤣

Brilliant zoo, only European animals which makes a change. Very good Veiws of all and new bear enclosure was excellent. Still small and relatively quiet which makes a welcome change.

You have to Listen one Hour of geology for Kids before you can finally See the drawings

Can’t recommend this enough. The caves are amazing to see and the guide was so informative. We didn’t book so ended up on French spoken tour however the guide helped us out and also explained in English. Make sure you book a time otherwise you might not be able to enter and you can choose a French or English tour.

Absolutely spectacular caves to visit. They are well kept, with lighting placed to highlight the beautiful limestone drippings and cave paintings. But by far the best part is the guided tours they give. The story and ambiance the guide was able to add to the trip made this the best cave visit I ever had. The tour was even available in English for accessibility. Huge recommendation!

Our English speaking guide was fabulous. Caves and cave painting were amazing. Felt like a real privilege to be given access. Definitely worth the trip.

This was a truly wonderful experience! We were so lucky to arrive just in time for the tour of the day while off season. We had a much longer tour than advertised and got to ask a million questions which was fantastic. The grotto is unbelievable beautiful and one of the most impressive natural sights I have seen.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! The caves have a wonderful display of stalactite and stalagmites and the cave drawings are mind boggling the way the artists 30000 years ago used the shape of the rock to pick out the features of the animals . Our English tour guide was fabulous and told us so much. Plus they have you a free gift. We have been to the tombs of the Kings in Luxor. These are obviously very different but rate at the same or higher level of amazement. A must see but not too many of you because it may harm the caves and pictures!!!

Excellent set of underground caves with tour guide who is extremely knowledgable and encourages you to think in a thought-provoking way about the cave drawings and their social purpose. Geological formations also impressive and a great price for what is on offer (around £10 per person). Would highly recommend!

As automobile and technique enthusiast this place hurts your testicles, was expensive and a waste of money. A giant collection of oil leaking ( directly in the soil) rusty, half rotten tractors, cars and motorcycles is what you are looking at. Some are decent, a handful are restored, but most are in deplorable state. This is not a museum, but despite his enthusiasm and passion, this is a collector taking it to the next level of collecting. These vehicles should be preserved. If you have nothing to do, perhaps fun to go, but otherwise please go have a good wine and moules frites. There are better things to do and see in the area! Cash and cheque only, no cards!

This is an excellent museum. There is something for everyone. It has agricultural machinery, PTT artefacts, lots of cars, lorries, full period roomsets, very many tractors, and a cafe. It is run by a fantastically enthusiastic group of people (led by Benoit) who make you feel very welcome and explain how to view the exhibits really well. The objects are kept in the original condition that they were found (objects are only in original condition once and are better to see like this). Some show their age and patina, but all the engines are maintained in running condition and can be demonstrated. The museum provides an excellent view back in history for people of all ages to enjoy. There are many, many things to see, but also an expansion of the site is being prepared. There is even a guided tour at certain times of the day. Well worth visiting. We will be back there again soon.

Collecting on steroids! Every kind of farm equipment, 200 tractors, 100 cars, motorcycles, bikes, antique toys, plus he makes a wood fired pizza you can order for after your tour. Amazing collection.

Amazing place, whole family loved it, Benoit is infectiously passionate about the collection which is crammed full of amazingly unique vehicles. Prepare for a wonderful visit, and such good value! Thank you Benoit, we’ll be sure to be back.

This is an exceptional museum and well worth a visit. plenty of parking even room for our motorhome. If you are in the area make sure you include a visit in your itinerary there are loads of interesting vehicles including scenes from family and educational life in rural France .

An amazing collection by one man . Due to road works slightly difficult to find.( May 2018 )

Nice place to visit if you love old agricultural machinery and old cars. Very impressive collection.

Wow superb unique !!! Let's go back in history at least 25,000 years and see first hand primitive art not seen by modern man before 1996. Well preserved, group controlled in limited numbers and a MUST SEE CAVE! afterwards, enjoy the museum and watch more history in the 25 minute film. What a delightful outing...and the route is an eye full too!!

We’re doing the GR65 and stopping in Cabrerets so decided in advance to pop in. The website is a bit of nightmare from outside of France, but worked perfectly once we were in-country. You MUST buy tickets in advance as it sells out. There is an English spoken tour, but if you miss this there is a free audio tour (via app and headphones). The tour itself is very good and the caves are spectacular. Amazing that it was discovered by three teenagers. Well worth the visit and while obviously touristy, it wasn’t horribly so. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

I had always wanted to see these petroglyphs, and they were not a disappointment. It was difficult to get there without a car, but it was worth it. The tour was excellent.

These caves are an international treasure! It's marvelous that they are so well managed and preserved. There is nothing like seeing the images in person - it helped me understand the incredible level of artistry involved and its incredibly moving!

Amazing experience! I loved the guided tour and bought the guide book after, because the whole story fascinated me immensely. Probably one of the best "tourist sightseeing" experiences of my life.

Gilles’ tour of the Pech Merle cave was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. His enthusiasm was contagious, his passion for the place genuine, and the way he guided us made you stop, think, and marvel. Top class, Gilles. Do yourself a favor and visit the cave—step back into the past and dream of cave bears and mammoths. Even better if you go together with Gilles 😉.

Great experience. Underground natural cave dating back to 29,000 years ago. Beautiful and very interesting. Well kept, very clean and safe! The tour guide only spoke French, but English audio guides and guide books are available. There is also a museum which explains all that you'll find inside the cave. Highly recommended visit. Book tickets in advance for no waiting time.

Don’t trust this hotel. Read all the fine print, and do not expect them to honor anything else, no matter how obvious, not even to respond constructively. If they respond to this note it will be to claim that our purchase was non-refundable, but they will know that they are not telling anything close to the whole truth. There are many other fine places to stay in the area.

It's an interesting chateau to visit with 13th and 16th century parts and stunning views from its cliff terrace, and other balconies.

Another wonderful château carefully preserved with amazing decorations, ceilings, furniture collected over the centuries.

A beautiful castle in the Lot department of France We went to Saint Cirq Lapopie and somehow googled nearby places to visit! We came to this castle with minimal expectations but to our delight , it turned out to be an awesome and quite unforgettable experience Special thanks to our tour guide - Virginie Do visit if you get a chance

Spectacular view and quiet peace in this beautiful corner of France. No English language (or any other than French) made some of the signage hard to use … but it is their country!

Interesting medieval castle with many original features. It's privately owned so much is closed off to the public but interesting if you like old castles.

Lovely place to visit as you can see some of how they lived in ancient times. Booklet in English to read as you go round. Family still live in Chateau so some parts out of bounds. Follow signs to Chateau as some satnavs take you where you cannot drive.

This was our favorite visit on the park. The village is incredible during day and night, with a lot of cosy restaurants and hotels. Definitely recommend it!

One of the most beautiful villages in France. What more can I say?

A beautiful and inspiring experience. Plan to spend an hour or more slowly exploring this immense building. There are lots of ‘individual chapel’ areas around the inside walls each with a different purpose, story or history. Lots to read and contemplate and maybe reflect upon.

A masterpiece of architecture in Cahors, well worth a brief visit. I walked into a Sunday afternoon service and there would have been live classical concert in the evening hosted at the cathedral for free. The building is situated in the beautiful old town of picturesque Cahors. The ceiling paintings are breathtaking and the many colourful glass windows are wrapping the church's interior into a nice ambiance.

Cahors is a beautiful little fortresses city South West France very peaceful Good food good wine.. Cahors wine market Saturday morning and Wednesday morning Cahors got a beautiful bridge the Valentre good place to go for a weekend and holiday close to Toulouse and the pyrenees mountains close to the sea with Biscaross Dune du Pyla close the district les Landes Let's go to Occitanie for your holiday

Magnificent displays of Religious architectural delights. Not much room in the inn though, for the rather drunk local 🤔

Beautiful Cathedral in every way. Go to see the headpiece of Christ's burial cloths. On display for the 900 yr anniversary.

Nice cathedral located in central cahors. Has some modern stained glass windows.

Not quite the best but a good example of these grand cathedrals.

I was truly speechless when I saw this nearly 700-year-old bridge. Its history and architectural beauty are simply breathtaking. We took our time walking around it to admire it from every angle, appreciating the stunning bridge.

This bridge is absolutely beautiful and amazing to see how high this is too. Also encountered a very friendly cat. It’s all free to visit and there are free parking spaces about 5 minute walk away.

Take your time to look at more than the bridge, the museum is well worth a visit and it's well worth looking around. It would be good walking country, but not in the heat.

I loved my walk and visit to this lovely medieval stone Bridge with its nice views down the river and the surrounding hillsides. Its very close to the town and has plenty of walking path from either side of the river Lot. The bridge is in great condition and well maintained. Highly recommend.

Just incredible and so well preserved! I recommend you visit this place after sunset to appreciate it when all lit up and reflecting on the water below!

Absolutely beautiful bridge, stunning views from it either side and free to visit. Highly recommend

Aire in the the town only has 3 bays, suitable for small vans. Large car park ,about 15 mins walk to bridge. Can stay overnight but very basic and shared with cars.

Everything was good. The course had even more little dishes than expected and it was nice to try many quite creative assemblages. There was no "what's that strange taste" moment that even happens to some restaurants with stars. Personally, I would prefer less sweetness overall. I like mains that are not sweet, but that depends on people.

We visited for lunch on a very hot Friday. The restaurant was cool and very calming with a beautiful decor. The staff were all welcoming and knowledgeable. The food was outstanding. Chef Baptiste Moura and team had prepared some outstanding dishes that all were tasty and interesting combinations. Stand out dishes included the “ fish and chip” the lobster and tomatoes and the Turbot with many combinations of carrot. The wine paring was excellent and all the wines complement the dishes served. A genuine treat for all the senses and I would recommend anyone to visit. 10/10

We had a fantastic experience at the Holodeck restaurant at Château de Chambert, we weren’t sure what to expect as I think the restaurant is fairly new and I hadn’t seen many photos of the food or information on the menu but we followed their lead on arrival. We arrived 20 minutes early for our dinner reservation, and drove up to the chateau where the views of the vineyard were spectacular. We met a lovely lady in the tasting room who let us try some wines. We had a run through of the chateau and the plans for the future. We then took a glass of our chosen wine to the terrace and enjoyed the view. We were greeted by our fantastic host who offered us sparkling Malbec and the start of our menu on the terrace. After our canapés we moved into the restaurant to choose our wine and to be made comfortable, the restaurant is excuisically decorated with beautiful ambient lighting and open kitchen. The chef showed exceptional skill with a balanced menu of fresh ingredients. We chose the smaller menu but were pleasantly surprised, there were countless high quality ingredients and we lost track of how many courses we had. The Asian citrus langoustine dish was my husbands favourite and mine was the Mediterranean John Dory dish, but every course was brilliantly executed. We were 2 of 10 diners, it made for a very special evening, the service was superb, even though our waiter sommelier did not speak much English and our French isn’t great, he did a fantastic job of simplifying the French to explain the dishes. Everything was perfect and timed to perfection, we did not want to leave! Highly recommend to any foodies visiting the area. We can’t wait to come back again. Thank you!

Went for a wine tasting. Vincent was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and generous with his time. As we arrived close to closing time he even patiently stayed late to allow us finishing our tasting. Highly recommended.

We had a great wine tour with Vincent. There were 23 of us and the tour was so informative. Such a beautiful location. Thank you

Our experience in this stunning, historic winery was a highlight of our time in L’Occitane. Wines were presented by Pascale whose knowledge and passion equaled the excellence of the wines we tasted (and purchased!) and our l’échappée en 4 temps in the beautiful Bistro Chambert was a triumph. Food so beautifully presented and served in a dining setting that was simple but flawless. Vincent and his team are masters. A food and wine experience not to miss!

Lovely food, we enjoyed a lunch time set menu and really enjoyed our trip. There is a smaller set menu for children and the atmosphere was very relaxed for such a high quality restaurant. It was next to the wine tour and wine tasting and was easy to book it all over the phone. Wonderful lunch. We also did a 1hr tour and 30 mins wine tasting. Some excellent reds from to choose from. High recommended!

Fantastic place with incredible views. A bit of a hike but well worth the experience. A beautiful place to visit.

Beautiful town with a castle perched high on an escarpment. Alovely walk from the shop-lined square up to the castle. Climb the circular narrow stairs to the top of the keep for amazing views.

When I was growing up there was a popular saying ‘Bacon and eggs, no thank you I’d rather wash my car’ As I walked around the castle at Najac I recalled this saying and processed to shout ‘I’d rather wash my car’ Surprisingly a man came up to me and said that it was about time

Interesting historical place. Great for a day out with the village next to it.

This fortress/castle is one of the most impressive ones you will ever see. It's the location that makes it. Sitting on a - at times steep - hill, you can see it from far away. And when you are walking down on the Rue Du Chateau (coming from the village), then it's just a sight to behold. It's picture-perfect. It goes a good way down from the village....until it goes back up again to reach the castle. It's a fairly short walk - a lot shorter than it might seem. If you have a stroller or a wheelchair it's quite an obstacle though. And the steep stairs and the cobble stones can get pretty slippery, even when it's not raining. So be aware of that and be careful. We didn't go inside the castle - we had our Bulldog with. But the best sight of it isn't up-close anyways...it's on Rue Du Chateau when you walk towards it. A wonderful, pretty and magical fortress. A must-see.

Absolutely stunning, great value too. Well worth a visit if you are nearby. Definitely take the time to climb to the top of the tower!

What a great trip! The hike up was not the easiest stroll, however many places to take a breather and see the views. From inside your can climb to the top- the spiral staircase are narrow, but worth the climb. You can see the town of Najac from each level and the secret passway is really fun. A great time!

Very pleasant! The ambience was very quiet and there were plenty of tables to sit and enjoy. There are also plenty of nice shops/restaurants nearby!

Highest point in this ancient town. One has to climb up the steep streets to reach here. Not recommended to bring a child stroller as the streets are full of ancient stones and bricks so it os pretty hard to move it. The hall has sitting arrangements from the bars/shops nearby. Looks a happening place but when we visited in the evening it was not much crowded.

The restaurant with the best view. Good food and friendly staff. Enjoy Cordes sur Ciel and it's surrounding.

Cold, nevertheless a little wine bar was open.So you could have a cheeky little,rose with an apero.

Visiting cordes-sur-ciel is very worth it !!!

Highest point in town. I Love Cordes sur Ciel.... Can't wait to get back! Centuries of history Have passed under this rooftop. Fantastic views of the hilltops from the wall. Sighting equipment available.

Lovely place worth a visit can get busy in the height off the season

What an awesome amazing castle. I took the audio accompaniment in English and if I was to visit again, I would take it again! It is a must if you want to get the most out of your visit. Lovely friendly English speaking ladies on reception who are knowledgeable about the castle. You can tell they really enjoy their job. The castle is in various states of repair. Restoration work has been carried out in most of the rooms that are open & available to the public to see. I appreciated seeing what unrestored parts of the castle looked like too.

Spectacular setting but you need to stop on the road to the village to get the best photograph as once you reach the castle you are too close and at the wrong angle to photograph it all. It costs €5 to enter and the lady at Reception was extremely helpful, giving us a map and explaining the recommended route. It doesn't take long to see everything, we did it in about 20 minutes. There is a recorded guide available which probably takes longer.

What a lovely place this is with plenty to do and see. The village is very pretty and the castle is amazing. Well worth a visit

An impressive historical monument since 1840, the building (12th, 13th and 17th centuries) is built at the very top of the cliff overlooking the confluence of the Vère and the Aveyron, on the site of an ancient Roman castrum. Property of the Counts of Toulouse in the 12th century, it was shared in the 15th between two branches of the House of Comminges, which explains the current division into the Château Jeune and the Château Vieux. Also known for having been the filming location for the movie "Le Vieux Fusil" with Romy Schneider and Philippe Noiret ...

We had a much better experience than we had expected, based on a review by a local guide. As others have said, the reception staff are very helpful. We were given the choice of the audio guide or a written guidebook. We opted for the latter - which was in English and French - and found it very useful. A wonderful location and two very interesting castles. Rather puzzled about another reviewer’s comment about cobwebs; in a building dating from 12th century, how surprising!

Wonderful medieval village and castle definitely worth to make the detour. Nice small cobblestone alleys that lead to the top of the village (relatively steep climb but not very long), where the old (medieval) and the new (16th- 17th) castles are located. In the museum you find the details of the Neanderthaler found here as well as the cave discovered around 1990.

2 Castles side by side located on a cliff 90 metres above the adjacent river. This is a very interesting place to visit with a fascinating history. We spent several hours wandering through the castles and grounds listening to the self guided tour information. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful and peaceful place

What a beautiful light show for the community. Sunday evening stroll gave us this. Thank you Moissac for a wonderful evening.

How heavenly beautiful is this portal and the church. We were very unlucky because the cloitre was closed from 12:00 to 14:00 and there was no time left to wait any longer. We had arrived at 12:00. The portal is great and impressing. A masterpiece of sculpture. Don't forget to study the 4 vices at the left side and the 4 virtues at the right side. There was a Portuguese ceremony in the church for the celebration of the Virgin Marie's appearance in Fatima on 13 May 1917.

A beautiful, peaceful abbey with some lovely restaurants/bars with outdoor seating in the square adjacent.

Peaceful renovated place Entrance of the basilic itself is free and worth a glance Then behind you have access to the main “garden area” full of history. Entrance fee is 6,50€ for adult Without self audio guide (supplement). But paper sheet information guides you theough the area as well as other nice rooms full of displays and narratives about the architecture

beautiful church built on older buildings which existed around 650ad with a pre Roman altar contemporary to that see pictures

Peaceful, well kept and interesting place to visit. I did visit in May and it was not busy. The architecture is impressive, and the detail on every column is very interesting.

A breathtaking marvel of engineering, where every viewing angle is spectacular!

Awesome! Canal over river.

A marvel of French engineering!

French canals are a thing to discover. If it weren’t for our local friends we wouldn’t have discovered it. Quick, anytime you are around ask for the ‘Canal du Midi’ and go right away. Time stops and the moments feel like years.

great 😊

Perfect place to come in bike or just running, you can see the rest of the city of Moissac and the boats who want to enter in the city.

One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.

Hi all, before to start to describe this place, think about how little we know about what surrounds us? Very beautiful area and if you order a guide who just an hour or a little more will tell you about the history of all the places and buildings and people who lived in this city you will understand how much surrounds us. I would highly recommend you to visit the city of Montauban.

Great, smaller town square with deep brick arch colonnades, ideal in hit weather. Bars and street food all around, and a fantastic squirting/misting water ' fountain' area for the kids to play in and get wet.

Montauban - Lovely space with atmospheric water feature, lots of busy cafes and restaurants

Lovely little square to pass the day, bars coffee shops & restaurants to suit all

It was great. We had a meal on a terrasse near by.

Very interesting museum. More of an art gallery. Some great Boudelle sculptures and a whole series of Venetian School art. Not my taste but interesting in their own right. The building has beautiful ceilings

The recently renovated building is almost as lovely as the collections it holds! A truly impressive and educational collection of a local artist's work. Amazing collection of sketches and models of works that grace both the US and UK national galleries plus many more. The spaces and exhibits for the temporary shows equally impressive. A must visit in Montaubon!

It is a beautiful building showcasing some fantastic art. A good mixture of paintings and sculptures, with one room dedicated to the sketches of Ingres. Finished the trip with a visit to the cafe for tea and a pastry.

I loved this museum for the permanent collection of both Ingres and Bourdelle and found the collection interesting and educational.

This museum is very interesting and depicting the correlation between the two artists Ingres and Bourdelle which is very interesting to understand. As well, the museum shows the personal collection of arts and drawings from Ingres which provides a strong perspective on Ingres' creation process.

Excellent art museum close to the centre of Montauban. It is the first time I have revisited it since the renovations and they seem to have done a very good job. All the exhibits are well displayed too. I particularly enjoyed the basement area in what felt like an old chapel. Many nice displays, some quite amusing. Recommended.

Truly amazing. Beautifully restored, an absolute jewel. Go and visit it. The town is a bonus wirh that marvellous square in the centre.

A brilliant garden. It far expected our expectations! Lovely planting, a large area where you discover new areas the whole time. The water features, buddist inspired wooden buildings, animals and a bamboo maze were added bonuses. We spent an hour just walking through the garden.

This is a wonderful garden. So many different plants and trees. Every season is different. Well worth a visit. We will certainly go back

An amazing garden which has been created from scratch over the past thirty years. It has a huge variety of plants and settings including lots of water features, quite a few woodland spaces, Mediterranean planting, oriental features and rose gardens. The flowers were in full bloom when we visited in July and looked stunning. It has a fun bamboo maze and a small selection of goats and lamas!

Beautiful gardens but the lotus extravaganza is the main attraction, especially this time of year (early to mid July) at the peak of flowering!

A heaven of peace! We spent a lovely sunny afternoon at les Jardins des Martels. Beautifully designed gardens with whispering fountains, lush lawns, rose borders and many different plants and shrubs, weeping willows and big trees near ponds and bridges ...simple pleasure for all the senses! I loved the jasmin trellis, the water lilies with the little frogs and orchids in the greenhouse. Secret shady corners offer resting places before you go down to see the cows and donkey and the hens.Before we left we enjoyed a cup of tea on the wooden terrace overlooking the garden.

I really enjoyed looking at all the amazing different kinds of flowers, something to inspire you to do things like poetry love turtles and others around you great company as well I'll give 10 out of 10

One of the most amazing and magical place I’ve been to, I spent hours in those luxuriant gardens and scenery, it’s a place of abundance from which you’ll leave at peace and fecund.

Loved it. Excellent. Would come back every weekend. Plenty of rides for a 1 year old. The dinosaurs aren’t that scary. Would recommend.

A small animal park with lots of different playoptions for small children. My grand son (4) enjoyed it for >3 hours

Good for kids. It's a bit too easy/boring for teenagers but not too bad. I would say until 13yo it's good. There is a good mix of nature exploration (farm/dinosaurs) and rides but don't expect anything close to the quality you would get in a jet coaster specialist.

Great for little kids, Never any lineups for rides, entire park is shaded (except parking) my kids love it !

Great weather today. Several attractions were closed due to reopening this month but regardless we were able to have fun and visit the entire park. Perfect time to take the kids to the park as there were barely anyone there and no queues. Very charming park in the middle of the countryside, very welcoming, top team, great entertainment, the toilets were clean + In the toilets there is a space for changing babies, the attractions are perfect for children and adults alike ! We will surely come back ! Thank you !

15€ entry :) and you can do whatever you want till 7 pm. Awesome attractions for kids and adults.

Great theme park good family day out we ran out of time in the end so you will need a full day here or even a second visit. The rides are great for children between the ages of 4 and 10 there is no much for children over this age.

The garden is beautiful. Lovely places to sit and different areas to walk near water, fountains, under shade and in the open. Always tonnes of people working on improvements! Lovely vibe!!!!!

Beautiful gardens. Sometimes quite busy but fun to watch everyone posing on the bridge. Other times very quiet and tranquil.

A wonderful gem in Toulouse. The Japanese garden is done wonderfully and has a little Japanese house which explains the design of the garden. There’s a little bridge with fish in the pond. There’s also a raked zen garden. A tranquil place.

The garden itself is really peaceful and well-kept, with a nice layout that makes it easy to wander around and enjoy the scenery. It didn’t feel too crowded despite being a weekend. Overall, a really pleasant spot to relax for a bit if you’re in the area.

This is a traditional Japanese garden located within Jardin Compans-Caffarelli. Modeled after the gardens of Kyoto, it was created in 1990 and named in honor of Pierre Baudis, the city’s mayor at the time. The garden faithfully recreates key elements of Japanese landscaping, including a red arched bridge, bonsai trees, a sand garden, bamboo groves, stone lanterns, and a koi pond. It offers a serene, exotic retreat within the urban landscape, inviting visitors to enjoy a moment of peace and harmony in the heart of the city.

really enjoyed this little garden only small area is actually Japanese. There is a small pond with Koi fish and turtle which is interesting to see. there's a Japanese building on the on the pond which provides shade and some minimal seating. Be careful as some paths are made out of stone and uneven so better in mind if you're going with elderly however most of them are flat.

A really nice garden on the west side of Toulouse near the Canal du Midi. The Japanese gardens are very nice.

It is a nice and clean church, both the exterior and interior are beautiful, it was a pleasure to visit this church during a day trip to Toulouse and a walk around the city center. When we entered the church, young girls and boys were singing religious songs and a good spiritual atmosphere was created. The church was relatively quiet and had the necessary peace. I personally felt very good and I hope you will also have a good experience visiting this church.

The basilica is one of the largest Romanesque-style churches in Europe and a major landmark of Toulouse. Construction began around 1080 and continued through the 13th century. The building reflects a pure Romanesque design with later Gothic additions, combining red brick with pale stone. Its most iconic feature is the 64-meter octagonal bell tower, a defining element of the city’s skyline.

This is a truly mind blowing cathedral. It is the largest remaining Romanesque church in the world. Its soaring barrel voltage ceiling gives a sense of space and majesty. There are wonderful statues and some incredible fresco paintings which have survived hundreds of years. I must see when in this city.

Beautiful architecture. We were lucky that there was a wedding ceremony when we entered so we got to hear the organ play live which was amazing. The entrance is free. Highly recommend a visit.

A more grandiose cathedral, visible from many parts of the city because of the distinctive tower. The access was limited when we visited because there was a service on.

Mast seen Landmark of Christian medieval architecture. Free entrance. Take your time to visit and discover all parts of basilica.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Toulouse. It is free to enter for all.

This is a wonderful and endment Theatre. It has a modern foyer and has been beautifully painted inside. I was fortunate enough to see the Capitole Oper ballet company in a tribute to Maurice Ravel. They were accompanied by the opera Orchestra and it was a wonderful show. Then to be sea of the theater means that the sound is wonderful. I was in the back of a side loge quite high, but if I still could see this stage without an issue. I got an H euro ticket by lining up one hour prior to the performance, which is when returns are re-sold.

Really amazing experience to watch ballet

The performances are AMAZING, staff are lovely and super helpful. The super high up seats at Paradise have indeed reduced visibility but it's acceptable (I didn't even realized they were at first), at the front-er seats the quality is perfect. I was very impressed with the mise en scène of Nabucco by Verdi and Norma by Bellini. This theater's interpretation of Orphée aux Enfers also has a nice touch of humour and a unique variation in the final part of Act 1. The ballet performances are nice. I'd keep updating in the future cause you just have to come back here! (I painted a scene in their Norma 2025 out of my impression)

Stunning theatre. Today's performance of Rusalka was epic. The building has excellent acoustics and if all the performances are as good as this, I'd be there every week if I lived here.

There is no word to explain my feeling. Everything good w their staff. When you enter you welcome with the smile faces all around you. Ils sont gentils! Thanks to all!

Great experience! Very emotional show after years of not going to the Opera. The Ballet team of the Capitole are great and the different directors have added their true spirit to Chopin and Mozart. All the staff from top to bottom showed amazing manners and etiquette. We felt great at all times! Keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻

Beautiful opera house. World class productions.

The Convent of the Jacobins in Toulouse is a beautiful and peaceful place. The interior is striking, with its elegant brick columns and calm atmosphere. Although the exterior is currently under renovation, it’s still well worth a visit. Built in the 13th century by the Dominican Order, it holds great historical and spiritual significance, especially as the resting place of Saint Thomas Aquinas.

This is an incredibly beautiful building. It’s worth taking a couple of hours just to enjoy the building aside from anything on display. The exhibitions are incredible and the acoustic for music amazing. The gardens are just so gorgeous. Make sure you allow enough time to visit.

Along with the cathedral, this is a must see in Toulouse. It is five euros for adults to enter, but it is absolutely worth it. With the restoration work that is going on the exterior. The entrance is via the refractory. In here, several of the lunettes have been removed from the walls and are being restored on the ground. The church chapter house and other areas are absolutely fascinating. There are many audiovisual guides which explain some of the amazing architecture and history. It would be very easy to spend an hour to two hours, marveling at this beautiful building.

The Convent of the Jacobins in Toulouse is simply breathtaking .The brick walls feel warm and grounded, while inside, the soaring palm-shaped vault seems to lift your spirit upward. Being there makes me feel both humbled and inspired — a quiet reminder of beauty, history, and serenity all in one space.

Its beautiful, and interesting to visit inside .. The ticket is reduced if you have a student ID then its 3€

The couvent amazed me with its main church: a row of giant columns supports the vault and divides the space into two parts. Otherwise, the monastery has a traditional structure with an internal garden with arcades.

The convent is one of the most significant examples of Southern French Gothic architecture and the historical heart of the Jacobins (Dominican Order), founded in Toulouse in the early 13th century. Construction began in 1229 and was completed in the 14th century. The convent played a central role in scholarly, preaching, and missionary activities across medieval Europe. It houses the relics of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Dominican theologian and philosopher, whose remains were transferred here in the 14th century. The name "Jacobins" comes from the common French nickname for the Dominicans during that time. The church’s interior is renowned for its palm tree–shaped vaulted ceiling, where ribbed vaults fan out from slender columns. ※ Included in the Toulouse Pass Tourisme.

Great place. I saw a lot of comments that everything is in French only, well, that's not true, apart from some spectacles, everything is available in French, English and Spanish. However, they could provide some subtitles for the French only parts. I spent there 1 full day, it's enough to see the most important parts and walk through the whole object. If you want to really have full experience and see everything thoroughly, 2 days are recommended. Great place for kids, adults and anyone who loves space exploration. My favorite spectacle was the imax space images. Overall, highly recommended.

There are lots of shows which are really informative and educational. We loved the Mars Rover one, but the only thing was everything was explained in French so we had to use live translation. The planetarium shows has audio guides in english. Other than above this is a great place to visit for both kids and adults who love space.

If you’re in Toulouse and even remotely curious about space, the Cité de l’Espace is a must-visit — especially with kids. I went with my daughter, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had together. The IMAX Deep sky show was fantastic. Gazing at the stars in the Planetarium made us feel like we were travelling through the galaxy. The highlight is the Lune Explorer where you get to experience being an astronaut on a mission to Moon. You can literally feel the 2G force!

It's a must see if you are in the area. I would recommend setting a few hours aside if you visit - especially if you want to check out some of the shows on offer. Planetarium and take off simulations are great - the latter does have quite a bit of a wait time however. Translation headphones are available for planetarium - English and Spanish. There's also a restaurant and food trucks, the only thing missing was a coffee truck for some pick me up. Overall spent around 5h and haven't seen everything.

Love it! Very good place to visit. Full of astronomy, stars, planets, and fun things. Tons of activities to do and see. You would need the whole full day for this. Highly recommended.

Nice space oriented museum, from the first rocket into space, to the future. Pitty that there isn't any Dutch, as a neighbour country this would have been nice. (Translating everything for my kids was exhausting 😁) A lot of interactive stuff, friendly staff, children are more than welcome to experiment and try things. But again, only in french.. A lot to discover, you'll need at least a full day if you want to see everything.

On a warm summer day, we visited the Cité de l’Espace in Toulouse with our children—and what an experience it was! The interactive space museum offers an incredible variety of things to see and do, both indoors and outdoors. Our kids were thrilled to try out the simulators (with almost no waiting lines), where they felt like real space shuttle pilots, tractor drivers, and even captains of a fishing boat. Outside, you can walk among life-size spacecraft and even step inside some of them—something truly unique in Europe. One of the highlights was the panoramic theater, showing an engaging film about the galaxy and our solar system. It's just a pity that much of the content was only in French. For a museum that celebrates European cooperation in space, we had hoped for a bit more multilingual accessibility 😉. We had a great time and, honestly, ran out of time after four hours of exploring. Whether it’s sunny or rainy, this place is absolutely worth a visit!

Activities getting a bit tired, upkeep could be improved. Not the best in the region but ok

Not too many people during school holidays in April. Security is very good. Very good for teenagers and adult. All activities are closed during lunch time from 12:30 to 13:30 (it was not the peak season). Parking is a little bit small. We enjoyed.

Friendly staff and organized place. We only did 10 accrobranche lines but that was enough to keep us busy for the afternoon. The safety system was easy to use. It was always clear where to hook up. Food and drink prices where acceptable. Acceptance fee seems high compared to others but is well worth it.

Tepacap is amusement park based on climbing through trees and rope bridges using harnesses for safety. Staff were very friendly and a great day out for a family or group of friends kids under 8 will struggle and need to be over 1.2 meters in hight. Only a 30/45 minute's drive from Toulouse. Great day out highly recommend

Great place, good value for money with a lovely cafe for lunch. Two very tired children and one very very tired dad

Very nice place to have fun. The staff is kind and listening !

A good range of options for all levels and the while family.
