Lot-et-Garonne & Tarn Attractions  - spread over a wide area and perhaps overshadowed by its more famous neighbour (the Dordogne), however the region still has plenty to interest you during your holiday, with enchanting towns and villages, spectacular rivers, chateaux, caves and more besides.  Also, although a long way from the sea, there are no shortage of swimming lakes (Base de Loisirs) where you can cool down in those hot summer months.

Cap Découverte

Location: On the N88 north of Albi and to the south of Blaye Les Mimes.

Description: A unique attraction located in a disused open-pit coalmine that's been converted into a gigantic leisure centre featuring a spectacular amphitheatre 1300 metres in diameter and 230 metres deep, entirely dedicated to fun!  There's an incredible range of activities on offer including skiing, zip-lining, tobogganing, cycling, rollerblading, skating , mini karts and swimming.
Our recommendations: We've never been there which is a shame because it looks fantastic.  But it has been highly recommended by France For Families' regulars.
For the children:  Although there are suitable activities for young children, this attraction will appeal more to children from age 8 upwards.
