Guided tours in Montauban
Read moreThe urban promenade is pretty cool: walk through the streets of the city, visit its emblematic monuments, stroll on its squares, do why not a little shopping… Yet when you don't know anything about architecture, you often go next door to the most important here: the history of the city. If this is missing, go to the built heritage of Montauban with a speaker guide. The cathedral Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption, the former college, the church of St. Jacques, the Pont-Vieux or the National Place will soon have no secrets for you!

Guided tour of the castles of Bruniquel
Read moreOverlooking the valley, the castles of Bruniquel celebrate the eponymous village, ranked among the most beautiful villages in France. There are two of them: a «old castle» dating back to the thirteenth century and a «young castle» built in the fifteenth century, following family rivalries. However, it is the young castle that will be abandoned until it is listed as a historic monument in the nineteenth century. Since then, guided tours are being organized from March to November to discover the history of these two buildings, which have meanwhile served as the backdrop to Robert Enrico's old rifle.
Tariff: € 3,50 for the free visit, 4.50 € for guided tour.
Duration: free.
