Nearest motorway: Severac le Chateau A75 at 89 kilometres
Nearest railway station: Rodez at 35 kilometres
Car: necessary

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.

Wild Life and Walking

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.

Food and Wine

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. Along with the markets at Villefranche and Sauveterre, there are many others in the area such as Rieupeyroux, Najac, Naucelle, Belcastel and further a field in 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

Out and About

Painting courses are available in Pradinas in July and August 3x3 hours for 100 Euros

5/5

A highly recommended gite

Ruth-Ann, Yorkshire
Review Submitted: July 15, 2008, Date of stay: June, 2008

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!
