The Midi-Pyrenees / Aveyron region

Located within the Aveyron, which is one of France's least populated departments, you will find wonderful people and a fabulous landscape. Situated half way between Rodez and Villefranche de Rouergue, the region offers much to the holidaymaker. We are within half an hour drive of 3 of Frances most beautiful villages, Najac, Belcastel and Sauveterre de Rouergue, (which host's a food market on Fridays evenings during July and August, don’t miss it!) All of which have fabulous restaurants.

Shopping at Villefranche's market on a Thursday morning is a must with fresh local produce and a great atmosphere. Rieupeyroux which is 13 kilometres away provides all your major needs including supermarkets, bakers, butchers, grocers, restaurants, etc.

Rodez is well worth a visit. Albi a beautiful city has a magnificent cathedral and the Toulouse Lautrec Museum, which is just over an hour’s drive away, the same as Millau (in a different direction) with the world's tallest bridge.

Rieupeyroux area

You will find this area a true food lover’s paradise when it comes to food shopping and eating out. The area is renowned for its Aubrac Beef, for its Veal, not the pale version of Northern Europe, Duck and Tripe. Cheeses come in all shapes sizes and tastes not forgetting the famous Roquefort which is produced in the Aveyron.

There are various markets all selling fresh local produce including wines that you are always welcome to taste first. In addition to the markets at Villefranche and Sauveterre, there are Sunday markets at; Rieupeyroux, Najac, Limogne and St. Antonin.

There are some wonderful restaurants in the area, ranging from the Michelin starred to the more rustic menu du jour. We will provide a list of some of our favourite restaurants to start you off but no doubt you will find many of your own. We are surrounded by the wine regions of Marcillac, Gaillac and Cahors all of which are known for good quality local wine.

The area abounds with wildlife. We have deer grazing in our garden on occasions and it is not exceptional to see Buzzards, Hoopoes, Hen Harriers, Kites and hear but not see Golden Oriels. You can walk straight from the door onto a country lane. The road ends at the house and becomes a picturesque lane that winds into stunning countryside. The walking is amazing.

We have 4 friendly llamas that we are training to trek with packs. We would be more than happy to accompany you on your walk with the llamas if you so wish.

We are situated in the 100 Valleys region of the Segala. This is an amazingly diverse landscape with soft rolling hills diving into wooded gorges. Clear rivers run through the valleys and ruined Ruthenois castles dot the landscape, as reminders of the past. When you return after your meander into the French countryside, you can freshen up with a dip in the pool and a glass of chilled wine, while you contemplate what delights tomorrow will offer you.

How to get there

Ryanair fly into Rodez during the summer months which is only 40 minutes from Maison de Tilleul
In addition Toulouse airport has flights from the UK on Easy Jet and Flybe, British Airways and KLM.
You could also use Carcassone or Limoges airports but this greatly increases the travelling time by car to Maison de Tilleul.

Guestbook

After many years of renting gites we can finally recommend one without reservation. This property is very well thought out, has all the equipment you could want and is large enough for 2 family groups - with 2 sitting rooms and all bedrooms en-suite. On top of that, its in a wonderful location with plenty to see and do within easy reach. And it is as beautiful as it looks in the photos! Ruth - Yorkshire June 2008

We had a family reunion holiday in this gite - an absolutely wonderful two weeks, the cottage was perfect, and the view from the swimming pool is incredible. Liam - Glasgow July 2008

We would highly recommend this property particularly
if you are looking for an away from it all holiday. You will enjoy the beautiful villages, good local restaurants (Few minutes drive away) and a lovely house at the end of a lane leading to nowhere but peace and quiet.
Chris - Nottingham May 2008

Thank you so much for giving us the perfect setting for our holiday to France. We stayed in the farmhouse for 2 weeks and we could have stayed for 2 months. Martin and Janette were on hand if we needed them they were excellent hosts. The house is simply breathtaking everything a family requires and more , beautiful countryside plenty of green fields surround the farmhouse, spotless swimming pool and very well maintained
Mal and Ailish - Ireland June 2008

La Maison de Tilleul was a fantastic place to spend a holiday. The farmhouse was exactly as described, extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need and beautifully decorated and furnished. The views from the garden were lovely and the salt water pool an absolute delight. It was wonderfully quiet and peaceful.
The owners were kind and helpful and most solicitous to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying our stay. They were extremely helpful with information about the area and places to visit.
