The Lot, medieval churches and a local plum-growing tradition give Trémons several distinct points of interest. You can shape your stay around river landscapes, architecture or an insight into wool processing. In the commune, riverside paths and river boating sit alongside religious buildings and a visit to Animalaine.

On the Lot: Access and Walking Paths

Here, the Lot is navigable and forms Trémons’ northern boundary for four kilometres. The river is a prominent landscape feature that helps you find your bearings. At Cale de Moudoulens, there is an inclined slipway and a floating pontoon. The cale provides local access to the Lot and forms part of river traffic on the river. If you plan to use the facility, check the local conditions beforehand.

A natural riverside path also starts at the cale. It follows the riverbank to a point opposite the Moulin de Lustrac. The path offers a different focus from the slipway and pontoon: here, you follow the riverbank on foot. Check local conditions before setting out.

At its inauguration in September 2025, the walking route was presented as being 23 kilometres long. Sections along the Lot and scenic viewpoints were mentioned. If you plan to walk it, check the local trail conditions.

Churches and Architectural History

In Moudoulens, the church of Sainte-Quitterie stands on a rocky outcrop with steep sides in several places, overlooking the Lot valley. It is a rustic Romanesque building dating from the 11th century or early 12th century. The church thus combines an early architectural history with a prominent position above the valley.

The church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste in Trémons was referred to as a Prieuré-Cure in 1601. Painted scenes from the Gospel can be seen in the choir and nave. Older structural elements are visible on the north wall of the nave; traces of round-arched windows appear to date from the 16th century. The original Romanesque sections are concealed by restorations. The paintings and traces on the north wall draw attention to two different aspects of the same church building: its decoration and its older structure.

Animalaine and Wool Processing

At Animalaine, encounters with animals go hand in hand with wool. Visitors are accompanied through the parks to see alpacas, Pyrenean goats, a horse, a donkey, cats and dogs. The visit also includes an introduction to wool and its various preparation stages. This combines a look at the animals with an insight into how the material is processed. If you are planning a visit, check the current booking arrangements.

The Animalaine boutique sells wool, other alpaca-related products, wine and eau-de-vie. The range may change.

Plum-Growing Tradition Around Trémons

Traditional drying ovens for Prune d'Ente plums have been preserved on some farms around Trémons. These ovens provide a tangible link between the local plum-growing tradition and the surrounding landscape. This culinary and historical aspect adds another theme to your stay alongside the river and churches.
