What to see and do in the Lot Valley

Whilst famous for its stunning scenery, the Lot Valley plays host to a variety of activities and places of interest that will help make your holiday truly memorable.  Whether you are looking for more strenuous exercise for yourself or your children, wish to wander through the medieval towns and absorb the history of the region,  participate in the local culture by  shopping  at one of the local markets, or experience something completely different like a visit to one of the many underground caves or a hot air balloon ride, you will find it all within a short drive of the Chateau.

We are happy to make arrangements or bookings on your behalf during your stay  and  in addition we are able to offer specially reduced rates for the hot air ballooning for guests of Chateau Joncasses.

Below we have listed just some of the attractions and other sources of information which we hope will assist in the planning of your holiday.
