Check out this spot in Montaigu-de-Quercy. Great location for swimming and paddling, boating, kayaking, canoeing and supping. Montaigu-de-Quercy is a charming town located in the Tarn-et-Garonne department in the Occitanie region of southwestern France. The town is situated on a hill overlooking the surrounding countryside and is surrounded by lush green fields and forests. The area is characterized by rolling hills and valleys, with picturesque villages dotted throughout the landscape. The scenery is dominated by the Quercy region's limestone plateaus, which create an otherworldly landscape of canyons, gorges, and caves. The nearby Garonne River and its tributaries provide fertile land for agriculture, including vineyards, orchards, and fields of sunflowers. In addition to its natural beauty, the region is also known for its rich cultural heritage, with ancient fortified towns, medieval castles, and churches that date back centuries.

Frequently asked questions
Is this lake safe for swimming?
Check the Conditions tab for surface state and wind conditions. Review the Quality tab if this is a designated bathing water. Always read recent community reports for local advice.
How cold is the water?
Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. Lakes hold heat longer than rivers but can develop a thermocline. The water below the surface can be dramatically colder.
What should I bring?
A tow float for visibility (especially important where boats operate), warm layers for after, and consider a wetsuit in colder months. Check for designated swimming areas.
