Graham & Brenda Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 We live in Charente but are planning a short getaway for the end of this month/beginning of October, to take in places like Agen, Toulouse, Montauban etc.Are there any "must sees" or upcoming unmissable events in this area please? (We are a couple, no kids - well not in France! and like markets, old towns, scenery, bric a bracs, eating out at reasonable prices, rivers and canals and rural France in general).Many thanks,Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Cirq Lapopie - v pretty, Rocamadour. Albi - stunning cathedral. TheTarn bridge at Millau is stunning and very big. Then go on the the vulture centre in the Gorge de la Jonte.Moissac itself has only the cloisters. Auvillar very attractive. Puy l'Eveque is pretty. Lauzerte nice for a quick visit. The museum of hearses etc. nr Caze Mondenard is hilarious.Have a good time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
