The Midi-Pyrenees / Aveyron region

The regions' landscape changes with every turn of the road. From deep river valleys and undulating hills to views of nearby mountains. This landscape covers the lower valley of the Lot, the gorges and the valley of the Aveyron.

The regional food of foie gras, aligot and stockfisch are a must to be tried and if you get bored of eating you could always pop into a wine cave for a snifter or two!


Rignac area

There is so much to see and do in this area.

In the next valley is Mirabel a village used by the French resistance to escape capture and the village of Belcastel with it's chateau and 2 gourmet restaurants or if you fancy a bit of DIY you can take a picnic down to the Aveyron river flowing through the medieval village of Previnquieres.

All within 10 mins drive from the gite!

There is also a weekly market in the bastide town of Villefranche de Rouergue which is said to be the best in the region, or you could book a canoe for an hour, 1/2 day/whole day just to cruise throught the Gorges of the Aveyron, but if you fancy sitting up a bit higher you could go horse riding through the vineyards of the Marcillac valley or if you fancy using you own two feet there are lots of walks in the area I can recommend or translate for you.

Places that are also a must to visit are Conques (world heritage site), Najac, Peyrusse Le Roc, St Antonin Val Noble, Cirq Lapopie, Bozoul and so it goes on.......

The village of Rignac is a 7 min drive and holds a small weekly market and has a well stocked local shop/excellent butcher/ pharmacy/ 2 mouthwatering boulangeries/ post office/ haberdashery and what defines every French village...5 hairdressers!!!!!!!!
There is also a park and in it are a lake, tennis courts and an open air swimming pool.

Further details indoors:
The converted barn is 150 years old and retains it's character with exposed beams and stone walls, a woodburner taking centre stage.
The accommodation is over three floors. The bedrooms are light & airy and EACH has its' own en suite.

One of the bedrooms has a vaulted ceiling and the other has a balcony. Downstairs the living/kitchen area is open plan with two double doors leading onto your private terrace.

I have furnished the gite to give a homely feel and with your comfort in mind. The kitchen is equipped with everything you should need, should you be fed up on being waited on in the local restaurants

In the lounge/ dining room we have provided games to play, DVD's to watch, music CD's to play and books to read while you are having a rest and letting others cook for you!

The lounge also has exposed beams and original stone walls, the wood burner is ideal for those chilly winter breaks.

Electricity Included. Linen and towels included.

Further details outdoors:
Opening the 2 double doors from the lounge you step on to your terrace area where you can sit out on a warm evening and barbeque to your heart's content.

The swimming pool has a large terraced sun bathing area with an arbour to provide shelter when needed and a magnificent private view.

The surrounding countryside is peaceful and beautiful. It's a good idea to bring a pair of binoculars as we have a pair of kestrels nesting in the barn and in the morning there are Hoopoes foraging in our field for their breakfast!


Further details

The 9m X 4.5m swimming pool is heated and is shared with the owners. It is a salt pool and is available from June to September and is alarmed to meet with French safety regulations.

We ask guests to supply their own swimming towels

Guestbook

"Just to say how much we enjoyed our stay back in August at La Fage and to wish you both a merry christmas and a properous New Year"

Martin & Jane Hazel

"We had a great holiday. La Fage was just what we were looking for. The solitude was perfect, what with the horses, cats, swallows, buzzards, kestrels etc we were in 7th heaven. The area itself was lovely. This was the 6th time we've been to France and both agreed that the Aveyron was our favourite bit of the lot so far. "

Ken & Jacqui Ring

We had a lovely break at La Fage and thought it was delightful. You have worked really hard on turning it into a lovely place and it showed - everything tastefully furnished etc. and spotlessly clean. We certainly hope to come again.

Linda, Tim and Adam
