area
✧ due to being partly protected, shops moving out, and the costs of bringing buildings up to standard, >35% are empty
✦ the town despite being just 12k people, is the largest for miles around, also hosting a large and lively weekly market in its impressive medieval entirely colonnaded market square
✦ a new square/greenspace is being created a stone's throw from the door behind the cathedral and covered market (rarely used)
✦ for the summers a swimming spot is being created 20mins walk away, plus a closer guignette on the river bank
✦ a good number of restaurants (inc bento) and a few cafes including one fancy
✦ minimart close, multiple supermarkets 20mins walk/bus, organic by bus
✦ assocaitive cafe around the corner that also runs cooking classes
✦ not bad for a rural town
has one big open park 15mins walk; a few mins away is a looped walking circuit for up to 2h along the river banks and lanes, in either direction with 2 shorter loops or there-backs on the trails for up to 45mins; 20mins bike to tennis (2 covered courts somewhere…)
✦ a couple of biking circuits start 10mins away and extend to Najac and St Martin where it possible start or return by train, or skip the more difficult bits (lots of climbing)
✦ no hiking from door, however the train offers some variety with 4 stations (15–40mins) offering options both by bike and foot albeit with the shortest return being 3h45, giving opportunities for more relaxed hikes with lunch stop (returns at 2:30pm and 6pm, but more out)
✦ fairly calm kayaking is possible from the town, or at Najac (Apr-Oct) with SUP as well
✦ 30mins drive to a fairly technical via ferrata above river
small but pretty town of Figeac at 35mins train is a good trip, with an 8pm bus back
✦ several great villages: medieval Caylus 30mins bus, St-Cirq on the lot gorges 45mins drive, as is Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val where there's good biking and hiking for occasional variation
✦ Cahors and Albi are also possible at 1h drive for rarer daytrips with diversions to break the journey
✦ Gaillac at 1h train is however more reasonable
access is good from Toulouse airport, but labourious from anywhere else
✦ night train is either longer via Toulouse, or with a 6am short change
