The Midi-Pyrenees / Tarn region
In the surrounding area are charming historic towns, the Gaillac Region vineyards (you can taste and buy wine at many domains and châteaux and there is a great wine co-operative selling top class wines in the grounds of the church in the town of Gaillac), the magnificent Gresigne forest, and the beautiful Aveyron gorges. There is a great Sunday market at St Antonin. There are many restaurants nearby. It is only a 20 minute drive to the fine medieval city of Albi with its stunning cathedral, famous Toulouse Lautrec museum and quaint medieval streets with many shops. The wonderful mediaeval walled city of Carcasonne (A World Heritage Site), is well worth a visit.
Activities In addition to swimming at the house, there is canoeing on the Aveyron river (The Aveyron Gorge is a 'must see'), an 18 hole golf course at Albi, and a range of sports, including skiing on the synthetic slope at the new Cap Decouverte leisure complex near Carmaux (20 minutes away). There are numerous country walks.
Cordes-sur-Ciel area
Just past the entrance to the house the road becomes a track which is ideal for taking a slow stroll down to the river. The house is only 15 minutes drive from the shops, bars, restaurants and Saturday market at the picturesque hill town of Cordes-sur-Ciel. At the heart of the famous bastides region, Cordes is famous for its historic buildings, medieval festivities and summer music festival. Cordes overlooks the tranquil, rural valley of the Cerou River. To the west, about 10 minutes away is the village of Laguepie with its medieval castle and Twin Rivers of the Aveyron and Viaur. This is a wonderfully French little village with local amenities such as doctor, bakers, grocers, post office, bar and a Sunday farmers market.
