Use your stay to visit the wine estates of Gaillac, one of France’s oldest vineyards, and treat yourself to a tasting.<\/p>

You’ll find plenty of bars, restaurants and farmers’ markets in Albi. For a full vineyard-and-bastides day, follow our Tarn stay itinerary<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

To cool off, there are many swimming spots nearby: 15 minutes away in Saint-Ju\u00e9ry, a water sports base with river pool and canoeing; further on, quiet swimming spots towards Marsal and Tr\u00e9bas; and the Bancali\u00e9 lake for fishing, hiking, picnicking or swimming. And if you’d rather stay at the house, we now have a small above-ground pool \u2014 child-safe and just right for cooling off.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
