Valence accommodation from NZ$90

20 kilometres from the middle of Valence is the La Table d'Antan. The Hôtel l'Armateur is 15 kilometres away. Two other hotels on Wotif include the le Moulin De Moissac Hotel & Spa and the Inter-Hotel Le Chapon Fin.

If time allows, make sure you discover more of the Midi-Pyrenees region. Midi-Pyrenees is known for rural landscapes and rivers, along with common Midi-Pyrenees sights like the ruins, castles and traditional villages. Or join the locals in the snowboarding and skiing while you're here.

Everyone knows New Zealanders are pretty laid back, so consider staying a little longer and check out the Fermat Science Museum and Notre Dame De L'Assomption, which you'll find in Beaumont-de-Lomagne, 25 kilometres to the south of Valence. Should you wish to spend a few nights in Beaumont-de-Lomagne, check out the room rates at the Le Petit Chateau Argoumbat and La Maison des Lumières. 40 kilometres to the east of Valence, you can also stay at Montauban, home to the Mercure Montauban and Campanile Montauban. The Place Nationale, Musee Ingres and Montauban Cathedral are just some of the more popular places to explore for those visiting Montauban.

Before you say "catch ya later" to Tarn-et-Garonne, make sure you experience some local sport. Visit Stadium Municipal de Toulouse to the southeast of Valence. The Grand Hôtel de l'Opéra and the Crowne Plaza Toulouse are both good options if you want to get into it.

Visitors planning on arriving or departing through Blagnac Airport might like to book a bed at the Hôtel La Palmeraie or the Hôtel Résidence Les Pins Galants Toulouse-Tournefeuille, which are both a short ride away.
