Le Village de Thegra

There's so much to see and do around this part of the Lot, whether you want to head to lively family attractions, get active, or potter peacefully around the region's many historic sites. The Padirac Cave or the Gouffre de Padirac three kilometres away is a vast system of over 100 metres deep, reached by a staircase and then navigated by boat. There's also some walking to be had, into the enormous space and among the stalactites of the Grand Dome: do go see. Another must in the region is Rocamadour, the ancient village that was once a central part of the French pilgrimage route. Among its most famed sights are its Stations of the Cross and the seven sanctuaries of the religious centre, but the whole village is stunning all around: for this one too, do go see. Stacks of family and animaly days out are in the area too, like chattering among the many macaques at La Forêt des Singes; the Rocher des Aigles birds of prey park and the Gramat animal park; the waterpark of Quercyland, and the bugs and butterflies of splendid Insectopia. Or just make it your mission to visit as many beaut towns of the region as you can: as well as Gramat 10 kilometres away, it's also easy from here to get to Collonges-La-Rouge, Autoire, Loubressac, Carennac, Turenne, Sarlat...
