The Aveyron region is beautiful, unspoilt and very French. The location of the house is very peaceful and rural, commanding stunning views across the Aveyron countryside. As well as nearby market towns, selling local produce, beautiful villages, chateux and castles to explore, there is also plentiful walking, kayaking and horse riding. The nearby Lac De Selves has sailing and windsurfing. There is also a nine hole golf course just 20 minutes drive from the house. In the Winter there are two ski stations within easy reach.
The area is famous for its regional food and the restaurants are excellent, two particularly good restaurants are located in Estaing.The local wine is also very drinkable.
Conques, the famous pilgrimage site is just 40 minutes away and well worth a visit. The local village of Estaing is a delight - beautiful medieval buildings along the River Lot. It is officially graded as one of the most beautiful villages in France.
