The South Aveyron is one of the most beautiful parts of France. Rugged unspoilt and sparsely populated it is extremely popular with walkers. Every village is packed with history and many have kept their ancient connections to the Cathars and Templar knights who made their strongholds in the area.
The south is mountainous with high cliffs and beautiful river gorges and gives way in the north to high plateaux and lakes before reaching the Puys (ancient volcanoes) of the Massif Central. The South Aveyron benefits from mediterraneen weather,,

Yes, thanks. We had a really wonderful time, and loved the house. It suited us
perfectly, and really hope we can come back soon. No real suggestions for
improvement - pretty much perfect in every way! (And thanks for returning the
deposit.)
