Sports and leisure activities Montayral

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.
