Reserve Naturelle du Neouvielle

Reviewed By chrispR6399BO - Sun Valley, United States

Gorgeous part of the world with stunning view and beautiful lakes - in some of the lakes you can see trout cruising around feeding on the surface - hiking is quite vertical but worth the effort- we had a 1000 foot gain in elevation on our hike- if you have mobility issues this might not be for you - the road up there is barely 1 lane in spots with lots of switchbacks but the views make it worth while - just go slow and let the locals and the aggressive drivers pass you.

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia

Jardins de la Fontaine are really beautiful gardens. There are many water features, ponds and canals, as well as some remains from the Roman times, and there is a huge area you can wander around and enjoy and just relax. The garden was constructed sometime in the 17th century.

La Foret des Singes

La Foret des Singes A magical moment, a unique encounter ! An exciting walk amongst more than 150 free roaming Barbary Macaques. No bars, no cages to hinder your view. A direct contact with this amazing species. Feeding talks throughout the day.

We had an ok trip to Rocamadour, but on our way home stopped at the Monkey forest. I am so pleased we did as it made the trip worth it!

Espiguette Beach

Reviewed By 980ec - Newport Pagnell, United Kingdom

Enjoyed a few hours here in August sunshine. It caters for huge numbers of people but is absolutely vast with safe shallow waters and refreshments nearby. Car park is reasonable for what you are gaining access to, and every time you walk through the entry parting in the dunes it is like Holkham in Norfolk just with warmer and closer water!! Up to my neck in the Med with a huge shoal of small fish rolling with the gentle swell was just wonderful.
