The best hobbies and leisure activities Lot-Et-Garonne

It was in the summer of 1982 that an astronomer Normand organized a public night observation of the stars. More than 100 people arrived. To such a success the town hall lent a room… The time passing the "junkies" mobilized to build a telescope. They all end up on the first Saturday of every month throughout the year. They make comments. Today they also have a daytime telescope.

The GROUPE D'ASTRONOMIE POPULAIRE DU LOT-ET-GARONNE in Montayral offers a complete and accessible astronomical complex. With its domes housing automated telescopes up to 500 mm, its 15-seat digital planetarium and its large 50-seat auditorium, this observatory offers a wide range of practical and theoretical astronomical activities that will delight astronomy enthusiasts. Although the north-western horizon is slightly darkened, moonless evenings are always a great success, allowing you to enjoy the site to the full. What's more, no reservation is required.

Gargantua is both a guest house and a school of French cuisine and pastry-making, where you can learn to bake bread and croissants, cook macarons, paris-brest and other religieuses, and discover seasonal cuisine around asparagus or mushrooms, poultry or meat. In two, three or six days, you'll go to the market and visit producers, go on excursions and, above all, be in the kitchen with Marlène, an inspired chef and excellent teacher. It's possible to stay without taking a course, or to take a course without staying.
