The Outdoor Life
Popular activities include cycling, horse-riding, petanque, fishing, tennis, walking, paragliding, canoeing, golf, swimming, flora and fauna. There are also many historical sites to visit in the region. I can also supply materials for budding artists who wish to capture the scenery on canvas. Contact me for further details.
Sunset over Zen La Chaussade
With little or no light pollution, we have the clearest skies you could ever imagine. This is a typical Summer evening around the pool. Ask me about loaning equipment for your evenings of Star-gazing.
Enjoy a Quiet Picnic
Attached to Zen La Chaussade are four acres of land with a lake. Why not take advantage of this and enjoy a relaxing Picnic?

... and there's more!
The local department organises "L'ete Actif". That is to say, an itinerary of events is available, at a small charge, to those wishing for a more energetic holiday. Both indoor and outdoor interests are catered for, details of which can be supplied, on request. All these Schedules are supervised and Guides for them are available at the Tourist Office.
