TARN ET GARONNE - Entre Deux Rivières

Automatic translation

Map of Tarn-et-Garonne Between Two Rivers

A small territory between the Aveyron which flows on one side and the Tarn on the other, the Entre Deux Rivières seems to us to be a pleasant nature break, for lovers of calm and relaxing places. Here, the small villages are simple but so pleasant! A stone's throw from larger cities, you will juggle between amusing and comical tourist attractions (the little paris, the little train, etc.), a gastronomic culture that is still very present and the beauty of unspoilt natural landscapes (as in the ornithological reserve of Gouyré). Take the time to discover this endearing territory.

Montricoux

The medieval village of Montricoux is at the gates of the Aveyron gorges. It is a land of Templars. The Templar keep, which dates from the 13th century, was originally much higher, but the vagaries of history, in particular the revolution in 1789, left it in ruins. There remains a part renovated and protected by a roof. The castle of Montricoux, also built by the Templars, was destroyed by fire, it was rebuilt in the 18th century and now houses a museum dedicated to the painter Marcel Lenoir. Walk towards the ramparts, to see the remains of the watchtowers, the retaining wall and its arches. Also discover in Montricoux, the Saint-Pierre church and the adjoining bell tower, in Toulouse style. Several washhouses are still visible on the municipal territory: that of Marcayran, the covered washhouse Saint-Laurent. The Aveyron cycle route passes through the village, if you want to take it to continue your holidays to other very pretty surrounding villages. Nature sports enthusiasts will make Montricoux their base for sports holidays, a stone's throw from the village, you can go mountain biking, climbing, horse riding, hiking, canoeing, caving...

Monclar de Quercy

Medieval bastide on the hills of lower Quercy, its history dates back to 587. There are very few vestiges of its turbulent history, which is why today, Monclart is betting on a new attraction: this tourist village is endowed with 3 beautiful lakes which attract nature lovers from nearby towns. The 3 lakes leisure center offers a swimming lake with games for children, slides, pedal boat, refreshment bar, etc. 4 swimming pools, one of which is covered for the off-season, a paddling pool, a spa... chalets for hire, a campsite, and very original "berth wagons". For children and lovers of vintage tchous tchous, a super little miniature replica train of the Orient Express awaits you to go around the lakes, for a ridiculous price. Fishing is also practiced at the leisure base.
