Home description

The Midi-Pyrenees / Aveyron region
The Aveyron boasts no less than nine of the most beautiful villages in France, more than any other department. It is an area of hidden deep valleys, dramatic river gorges ( the Aveyron, Lot and Tarn rivers are all nearby) and also rolling wooded hills and pasture grazed by the richly coloured Aveyron cattle. Conques, a World Heritage Site, the wonderful Cathedral and Toulouse Lautrec Museum at Albi, Cordes, St Antonin de Noble Val and Cahors are all easily reached. A visit to the roquefort caves, the vineyards of Marcillac and Gaillac or the breathtaking new bridge at Millau, all make for an interesting day out.
Najac / Les Mazieres area
The castle at Najac is perched high up on a hill overlooking the village and the river Aveyron meandering it's way through the valley below. Fanatstic views abound, fascinating countryside to explore by car, bicycle or on foot - there are several Grand Randonee walks in the area. For the more active - kayaking, rock climbing, riding, tennis, fishing, golf, river and lake swimming and even sailing. There is a wealth of restaurants nearby to suit all tastes; most amenities can be found within 10mins of the house. Villefranche de Rouergue is a real gem and boasts one of the largest open air markets in France every Thursday; the one at St Antonin de Noble Val on a Sunday morning is also well worth a visit.
