What “Affiner ma recherche” does—and where to find it

- Affichage mixte (list + map)
In map view, the site displays 45 partner tourist offices across the department. Each office connects you directly to regional experts for personal advice, current event programmes, and printed documentation—useful anchors for building day-by-day plans.
How to get started quickly:
- Open “Offices de tourisme.”
- Switch to Affichage carte if you’re a visual planner.
- Click Affiner ma recherche and select the criteria that matter to you.
- Save or note your top office(s) and reach out for tailored tips.
Plan step by step: apply filter logic across the site
Filters and smart browsing tools appear in key areas beyond tourist offices. Use them in sequence to shape a complete trip.
1) Define your travel style with “Le Tarn qui vous correspond”
Kick off with the interactive quiz Le Tarn qui vous correspond. In a few clicks, it suggests the facet of the Tarn that best fits your interests—perfect input before you start filtering.
2) Anchor your support network via “Offices de tourisme”
- Use Affiner ma recherche to surface relevant offices, then choose your preferred list, map, or mixed view.
- Contact an office for insider recommendations, event programmes, and on-the-spot documentation to refine your route.
3) Lock in timing with the Agenda filters
Head to the Agenda to see what’s on. You can filter by today, tomorrow, or this weekend and browse by themes such as festivals, village fêtes, markets, children’s activities, rugby matches, trail races, exhibitions, and night outings. Use these time-based filters to pin down dates and avoid clashes.
4) Shape your outdoor time with Balades & Randos + Tarn Pleine Nature
Explore Balades & Randos for walking and hiking ideas. Then use Tarn Pleine Nature—a free website and app—to access walking, cycling, mountain-biking, and horse-riding routes with practical details and points of interest. Pick an itinerary and follow it on the go.
5) Choose accommodation with “Où dormir ?”
Browse Où dormir ? by:
- Type (e.g., hotels, campsites)
- Amenities (such as stays with pools)
- Themes (e.g., romantic stays or unusual lodgings)
This structure mirrors the logic of Affiner ma recherche—start broad, then refine.
6) Curate meals with “Où manger ?”
Use the Trouver un restaurant search tool and themed selections to match your mood:
- Au bord de l’eau (waterside dining)
- Pique-niquer (picnics)
- Repas gastronomique (gourmet meals)
- Spécialités locales (local specialities)
- Soleil en terrasse (terraces)
- Tapas et ambiances (tapas venues)
7) Preview places with video and 360°
Shortlist spots in Le Tarn en vidéo and explore key sites in Le Tarn à 360°. Visual previews help confirm choices before you lock in reservations.
8) Cover essentials: accessibility, transport, languages
- Check Tourisme et Handicap for practical guidance on accessible stays and activities.
- Use Venir et se déplacer dans le Tarn for transport tips on getting here and moving around.
- Browse the site in your preferred language: French, English, German, or Spanish.
