There is a huge variety of things to do round here, with outdoor interests especially well catered for. There is excellent walking, varying from Grandes Randonées forming part of the ancient pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela, to smaller tracks and footpaths. Numerous paths pass through open countryside dotted with ancient farms and small hamlets, beside rivers and across the rugged terrain of the limestone causses, almost all well marked and accessible. Cycling offers another way to explore. The roads are free of heavy traffic and many of the tracks are fine for mountain bikes we have two bikes available for the free use of guests, and others can be hired inexpensively in Cajarc. You can also hire canoes and kayaks on both the Célé and the Lot and there is horse riding at various nearby centres. There are four good swimming pools within 10 -15 minutes drive of 'Les Pégouriés' and plenty of picnic and swimming places by the rivers.There are good Tourist Offices (SDI) providing information for visitors and throughout the summer there are plenty of local events, including village celebrations and concerts for you to enjoy.
