We take a dip
À Vere-Gresigne et Aigueleze, the little ones enjoy yet another slide on the water slides of the leisure centers which become their favorite playground. Meanwhile, the parents take the opportunity to cool off with a peaceful trip in a canoe or paddle. The weather is good, we feel like fish in water!
To work on your crawl or simply do a few lengths for fun, the supervised swimming pools in Tarn are open throughout the summer season.
At the swimming pool in Lisle-sur-Tarn, you can even take part in aquagym classes! And to sunbathe with your feet in the sand, head to the beaches, the one on the Viaur in Laguépie offers several pools for young and old. While going down to the Rabastens beach, its wilder side is completely exotic.
The Aqua Park in Aiguelèze
The Aiguelèze leisure center, with its swimming pool in the Tarn (free access) and its Aqua Parc are perfect for an extra refreshment! More than 2000 m² of inflatable aquatic structures await you: giant slide, swing, rope bridge...
We cultivate ourselves in the cool
In the heart of the air-conditioned Tarn museums, we enjoy a cultural visit that feeds our thirst for knowledge and our desire for freshness. Gaillac Museum of Fine Arts introduces us to masterpieces spanning artistic trends. From neoclassicism to impressionism, there is something for every style! Giroussens Ceramic Center, it is the art of gesture that we discover through the creations of artists, potters, painter-sculptors and ceramists whose often ancestral techniques reflect the history of heritage.
Heat doesn't necessarily mean low appetite, so head to the Chocolate Art Museum from Lisle-sur-Tarn which revives the taste buds and appeals to the sense of detail through works as surprising as they are tempting. The Museum of Sugar and Chocolate Arts, quant à lui, met en scène des chefs-d’œuvres entièrement faits en sucre et en chocolat inspirés de contes et légendes. De quoi saliver à Cordes sur Ciel !
We're having a great time in the shade
To Martels Gardens In Giroussens, we discover an oasis of freshness where an exotic and aquatic greenhouse, a banana plantation, a mini farm and more than 2000 species of plants coexist, inviting you to dream and relax. This English-style floral park with Asian inspiration takes you on a journey to other horizons, and it is no coincidence that it is ranked among the most beautiful in France!
To Gardens of Paradise à Cordes sur Ciel, on profite de ce joli espace aux influences orientales sur les premières terrasses fortifiées de la cité médiévale. Les sens en éveil, on s’émerveille devant le dialogue créatif entre art et végétal. Le cheminement commence depuis une terrasse panoramique ombragée de voiles, avec plus loin « l’enclos gourmand », où l’on peut sentir, goûter des plantes à baies, aromatiques et exotiques.
We do our night market
In the summer, we take out our baskets at nightfall to meet the artisans and producers of the Tarn. On Mondays, the Rivières market makes us fall for some delicacies. On Tuesdays, we taste with music on the Place du Griffoul in Gaillac or we make new discoveries in Lagrave. On Wednesdays, we let ourselves be tempted by the rural atmosphere of Salvagnac where the producers combine rural authenticity and simple pleasures.
All year round, in the late afternoon, Noctambio invites fans of short circuits and organic products to do their little shopping on Tuesdays in Gaillac. On Wednesdays in Couffouleux, everything is good in organic products. On Thursdays, we stock up on good products at the weekly market in Penne or Senouillac.
We take advantage of the evenings to go out
Come taste wines, listen to music and dance all summer long at the aperitif concerts at the winegrowers from Gaillac. They know how to welcome, their bright smiles fill us with joy, welcome to their home! Great tables, great encounters, gourmet discoveries, partying in the vineyards, that's good with Gaillac winegrowers!
Climb aboard a barge on the Tarn for a very special aperitif! Taste his latest vintages with one of the Gaillac winemakers. Between Albi and Gaillac, he tells us about his job with passion. And between two sips, he shows us the marvelous view of the Sainte-Cécile cathedral. To finish, we take a little tour of the local tapas platter to accompany our glass of wine, all of which go so well together in the mouth.
Go on an incredible adventure with the costumed night tours dans le Tarn ! Puycelsi, Castelnau-de-Montmiral ou Cordes sur Ciel, les bastides et villages perchées dévoilent tous leurs secrets. Suivez, à la lueur des lanternes, le guide en habits d’époque qui vous conte avec passion les légendes et histoires à frissons propres au territoire.
