Camping du Domaine du Lac de Néguenou

The town of Prayssas is less than 10 minutes' drive away, or a short ride via mountain bike from the site team. It has a castle and markets to browse around, including the night market on Wednesday evenings from June to September (the Camping du Domaine du Lac de Néguenou team arranges trips if you care to check it out). Less than half an hour away is the traditional town of Agen, home to a Saturday farmers' market selling organic local produce in the town square, Place des Laitiers. Those champing at the bit to shop on any day of the week should make for the 19th-century shopping street Boulevard de la Republique, dotted with boutiques – and terrace cafés to have a recovering sit down at. The 13th-century bridge, Notre-Dame du Bout du Pont chapel and ancient castle ruins of the spectacular medieval town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot can be reached within about 25 kilometres; from there, it's a few kilometres to tiny and pretty Pujols, high on a hill south of Villeneuve, and from there a short drive to the Fontirou caves, made up of seven caverns dating back at least 30 million years.
