The Midi-Pyrenees / Tarn-et-Garonne region
The property is a short drive from many Medieval towns that are abundant with history. these towns still enjoy a quiet sophistication, together with friendly local people who have a warmth to match their beautiful countryside. The area is particularly amazing as it is unspoilt by the over-crowding of tourists experienced nowadays in many parts of France.to the south there are the wine regions and trips to many famous towns such as albi , corde en ciel and najac are short distances away . most families make their visits in the morning and stock up on goods from the local market and then relax by the pool for the rest of the day ...........paradise .
St Antonin Noble Val / Caylus area
There are various local attractions nearby including Medieval villages, Bastide towns, Chateaux, Abbeys, Churches and magnificent natural sites of outstanding beauty; whether it be wooded valleys or the meandering River Aveyron with its dramatic gorges.
The area is abundent with activites to choose from, ranging from horse riding, canoeing, fishing, bird watching, rail trips, rock climbing, wine tasting, museums, pot-holing, tennis and of course walking. Golf is available at Albi (18-hole delightful course), where there is also a water-park for children. An afternoon's excursion by canoe through the Aveyron Gorge is considered a 'must' by nearly all guests.
A number of local villages and towns have interesting and colourful markets. (NB: Be sure not to miss the local market in St Antonin held on SUNDAY mornings and Villefranche on Thursdays).
Within short driving distances, excursions can also be made to a number of fascinating towns and villages including Cordes, Albi, Najac, Cahors, St Antonin Noble Val and Bruniquel, all of which are well worth a visit. The larger towns house excellent restaurants to cater for all budgets.
