Access
In the north of the Occitanie region, at the heart of the Lot department, the Grand Couvent de Gramat charms visitors with its natural setting. Situated in the
center of Gramat, the Grand Couvent stands amidst a 10-hectare park filled with trees and flowers—a haven of peace perfect for
tranquil strolls.
Holding the “Valeurs Parc” (Park Values) label, it is a place to breathe in the fresh air, listen to the birds, and gaze at the stars of the “Black Triangle”—a unique feature
of the Causses du Quercy Regional Natural Park.
Parking at the Grand Couvent is free!
