Montignac-Toupinerie: Churches, fishing and farm visits

Montignac-Toupinerie can be explored through its culture, fishing and agricultural produce. The Église Notre-Dame and the Église Saint-Martin de Toupinerie offer two historical points of interest; the Étang de pêche Jocal provides the opportunity to book a fishing session, while EARL JOCAL offers products and guided farm tours. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Montignac-Toupinerie, these activities can help you decide what brings you to the area. It is also important to find out what conditions apply to visits and where arrangements must be made in advance.

Churches dating from the 15th and 16th centuries

The Église Notre-Dame in Montignac-Toupinerie dates from the 16th century. Its exterior can be viewed year-round. A visit to the Église Notre-Dame is possible by appointment. If you plan to visit, arrange a time in advance and check the visitor information before you travel.

The Église Saint-Martin de Toupinerie dates from the 15th century. Its address is 2515 route des deux églises in Toupinerie; its exterior can also be viewed year-round. The dates fall in successive centuries: Saint-Martin in the 15th century and Notre-Dame in the 16th. This makes it easy to distinguish the two churches chronologically.

Fishing at the Étang de pêche Jocal

The Étang de pêche Jocal is a 25,000 m² pond on private land that can be rented. You can fish there for roach, tench and pike. The size of the pond and the list of species give a clear picture of the fishing on offer. If you are considering a day of fishing, you can check in advance whether the reservable pond fits your travel plans.

The pond can be rented year-round with advance reservation. Confirm availability before travelling and allow enough time to make your reservation. The pond is therefore a different kind of visitor attraction from the year-round accessible exteriors of the churches: renting it requires prior arrangements.

Farm visits and produce at EARL JOCAL

EARL JOCAL offers guided farm tours by prior arrangement. The farm is open year-round but closed on Mondays; visitors should make contact by phone before visiting. A tour therefore needs to be arranged in advance, and visits should be planned for a day other than Monday. If you are considering a farm visit, confirm the time and day by phone beforehand.

The agricultural products on offer include Prune d'ente, Agen prunes, acacia honey and sunflowers. This selection gives a clear idea of what the farm offers. Product availability may change; when you call, ask which products will be available during your planned visit.

Comparing visitor arrangements

There are different arrangements to consider when planning your visit: the exteriors of both churches can be viewed year-round; a visit to Notre-Dame is also possible by appointment. At the Étang de pêche Jocal, advance reservation is required to rent the pond. At EARL JOCAL, a guided tour must be arranged and visitors should make contact by phone; the farm is closed on Mondays. This lets you compare the activities and how far in advance arrangements need to be made before planning your trip.
