nature sports weekend 2023

18-20 May

Come and discover and participate in our Weekend dedicated to outdoor sports.

This year, in anticipation of the "Festival des sports de pleine nature" in 2024, a weekend in honour of these activities will be held in Saint-Antonin Noble-Val and Caylus from 18 to 20 May, where you will be able to practice and discover these sports.

On the programme:

Several à la carte activities, for young and old, supervised by professionals for safe and totally free practice.

The challenges of

the adventurer

Challenge 1

I go to meet the producers on our super markets rather than in the supermarket

Challenge 2

I only throw my rubbish in the bins (yes, we still need to say that!), otherwise I bring a bag (yes, we say bag in our country!)

Challenge 3

Take care of yourself and the planet at the same time, and choose eco-responsible accommodation: sort waste, consume water, use local produce... they've got it all right!

Challenge 4

I undertake not to disturb the animals and to respect their environment (well, would you like an otter to come into your living room?)

Challenge 5

When hiking on land or water, I go off the beaten track without going off the beaten track (you follow?): I leave no trace of my passage.

Laurence and Eric La ferme du paradis

Singular delicacies

A native of Verfeil sur Seye, Eric has been rearing organic Aubrac cows since 1990, and produces veal and beef, apple juice and sunflower oil for direct sale. The fruit of generations of work and selection, Eric has managed to retain the spirit and authenticity of the farm passed down by his grandmother.
The animals are raised in a traditional way with respect for animal welfare and the environment. Their feed is produced on the farm. The animals are then slaughtered and processed in the Tarn of Puylaurens.

An authentic meeting that favours quality over quantity!
