Home description
The apartment is in a lovely traditional stone farmhouse covered with wisteria in April. The ground floor kitchen is equipped with a range cooker and large table where the whole family can eat if the complete house is rented.
Situated in the Aveyron gorge, many walks are possible from the house without the necessity of a car. Milhars is equidistant from Cordes-sur-Ciel, St Antonin-Noble-Val & Najac which are all just 10 minutes drive away.
3 similar apartments available, please enquire for more details. Can be rented separately or together.
Front of house
The Midi-Pyrenees / Tarn region
Aux Volets Bleus is in the Aveyron Gorges just a short walk to the rivers Aveyron and Cerou. The whole area is steeped in history from the Romans to the 2nd World War. Most of the villages are medieval "bastides", fortified villages with a chateau, built during the Albigensian crusades or in defence against the English.
The Gaillac wine region is one of the oldest in France and tastings can be arranged at some of the many family run vineyards where you would be welcomed. Cordes sur Ciel is one of the most beautiful villages in France and really does disappear into the sky.
St Antonin Noble Val in contrast hugs the Aveyron river valley and its narrow streets are evocative of its past and on a Sunday morning, the bustling market is a must see. In spring, the wild flowers are wonderful and new for 2010, I will be offering guided walks to see orchids in May and June. Ask me for more information.
Cordes-sur-Ciel / Milhars area
This is a region of almost unlimited sporting activities from canoeing to horse riding and para-gliding and climbing for the more adventurous.
If you feel like doing nothing, then laze by the lovely salt water pool in the shade of the plum, apricot, quince, fig and almond trees.
