AN UNDERGROUND ADVENTURE<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Explore the medieval underground passages of Castela with the family<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Hidden beneath the ruins of the old castle at Saint-Sulpice-la-Pointe lies the <\/span>the medieval underground passageway at Castela<\/span><\/strong>. Its galleries and chambers, carved out of the earth, provide a mysterious setting in which to explore the history of the Middle Ages with the whole family.<\/span><\/p>\n

The underground complex can only be visited with a guide. Over the course of about an hour, visitors make their way underground and learn about the site\u2019s various functions, its history and the stories associated with the ancient fortress.<\/span><\/p>\n

The temperature remains constant, at around 14 to 15 degrees, even on the hottest days of summer. So do remember to bring a light jacket. As the historical tour is not particularly suitable for very young children, please also check the recommendations from the Tourist Office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Places are limited and tours can be fully booked several days in advance. We therefore strongly recommend that you book in advance. This tour can then be combined with a stroll through the bastide town of Saint-Sulpice or an excursion to <\/span>Discover Lavaur and the Jardins des Martels<\/span>.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Check the opening times and book your visit on the <\/span>official website of the medieval underground passage at Castela<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Share discoveries suitable for the whole family<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The Tarn makes it easy to mix things up <\/span>leisure, animals, heritage and cultural experiences<\/span><\/strong>. This diversity helps every family<\/a> to organise their days according to the children\u2019s ages, the weather and what they fancy doing at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a very active day out, Cap\u2019D\u00e9couverte offers wide open spaces where you can let off steam. The Montans Archaeological Centre, on the other hand, is a place where you can slow down and learn through hands-on activities, observation and play.<\/span><\/p>\n

La Ferme du Petit Poucet will particularly appeal to children who love animals, whilst the Castela underground tunnels will turn a historical visit into a real adventure. Some of these outings can be completed in half a day and combined with a visit to a nearby village.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Le Rousieux Campsite, it generally takes <\/span>between 35 minutes and just over an hour\u2019s journey<\/span><\/strong>, depending on your destination and traffic conditions. Do take the time to check the timetables before you set off, as many activities require a booking.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
