Where to swim in the Tarn ?

It’s finally summer. The sun is beating down on us, and there’s plenty of time for relaxation on the horizon. But where in Occitania can you relax?
The choice is vast. For pool-lovers, we recommend the Lisle sur Tarn or Rabastens swimming pools.

These two magnificent sites will welcome you in a very pleasant setting, both close to a charming lake where you can enjoy a picnic, a siesta followed by a pleasant stroll through the countryside.
If you’d like to take advantage of a leisure pool with balneotherapy, we recommend the nautical center in the village of Graulhet, where you can also enjoy an Olympic-size pool and a paddling pool for children.

For those who prefer to paddle, you can take in the stunning scenery aboard a canoe in the sumptuous village of Ambialet.

You’ll be accompanied by Ludovic, who will share his passion for the wilderness, where you can admire the schist cliffs or the Ambialet priory. You’ll be immersed in a grandiose universe of serenity and natural magic.
Where to cool off in the white waters of the Tarn?
