Fun and entertainment Tarn-Et-Garonne

In this shady alleyway leading to the cathedral, this small tea room is quite discreet. However, it is very popular, especially for the lunchtime menus with their beautiful, copious and colourful dishes. Soups, pies and homemade breads make your mouth water. And of course, you can't go into Christine's without tasting one of her desserts: from cheesecake to chocolate raspberry crunch, not forgetting the lemon meringue pie, everything is appetising. Very nice decoration and cosy atmosphere with a friendly welcome.

The Beaumont Racing Society was founded in 1875 by Baron Alphonse de Ruble de Gimat. The present site, Borde-Vieille, dates from 1925 and the pink sand trotting track, the first in the South-West, from 1965. Two major events take place on this racecourse every four years: one is European (the Grand Prix du Sud-Ouest), the other national (the Grand National du Trot). For the gourmets, it is possible to follow the races at the panoramic restaurant-bar.

The "boys" who treat us in the summer on the Ardus beach in Lamothe Capdeville, on the banks of the Aveyron, have opened a magnificent tapas cocktail bar opposite the Saint-Jacques church. Even if they are not noted on the slate, the cocktail classics like the mojito and the pina colada are still there. The same goes for the classic St. Jacques like the mango bay, the red press and the Hurricane passion. The idea is to change a little to make us taste new flavours by frequently varying the menu. A successful bet!

A real Irish pub in Montauban! Inspired by its Dublin counterpart, O Temple Bar is a must for Montauban parties! Bar games, billiards, typical pub decoration, we are undeniably in the temple of Anglo-Saxon and Irish pleasures. The bar offers a nice selection of beers, but also English dishes like fish and chips. Equipped with beautiful flat screens, the bar broadcasts all the major sporting events in all disciplines. So don't be desperate to find a friendly place, it's here!

Before and after your visit to the remarkable Ingres Bourdelle Museum, a sweet break is a must at the "Chez Madeleine" tea room on the ground floor.

Discover also the specialities conceived for the museum by Montauban's pastry chefs and, in the heart of the exhibition, the space dedicated to the bookshop-boutique. An epicurean way to enrich your culture and your stomach!
