Parks, gardens and walks along the river Tarn

The beach in Millau

When you arrive in Millau, you can’t miss these facilities along the banks of the Tarn! A convenient parking area allows you to park close by and cross safely at the crosswalk.

Lay on the grass or a deckchair, contemplate the surrounding mountains, picnic by the water, enjoy the pebble beach and supervised swimming in the height of summer, have a drink at the guinguette and let your children have fun on the playground.

Play, jump, climb in the spider’s web nets, zip-line on and off in total freedom, enough to let off steam your dear little monsters for a morning or a fun late afternoon by the water.

It includes playgrounds as well as a botanical garden… Every year, numerous sporting and cultural events take place here: 100 km of Millau, autumn fair, mineral bourse… In May, the merry-go-rounds set up here and children’s eyes light up at the attractions.
