Our home is situated in North Aveyron – about 2.5 hours north of Toulouse. We are between the Natural regional Parc of the Auvergne Volcanoes and the Parc of the Aubrac plateau. The Gorges de Truyère and the valley of the river Lot are not far either…..

Throughout the year – the surrounding area has numerous opportunities to go outside with excellent walking and cycling routes for all abilities. In July and August you can swim in the lake of Prèsqu’île de Laussac or in the lake of Saint-Gervais. During winter, within an hour’s drive, there are ski runs for beginners through to the more experienced at the Ski Station Lioran or in Laguiole. If you want quieter days to explore the rich history of the region, there are many castles and Châteaus scattered throughout including Château de Valon, Messilhac, Estaing. If you are a foodie, simply wander around the marketplaces and taste the local delicacies.
A little further way, we advise a day trip visit Conques – a major stop on the pilgrimage of Compostela or to Puy Mary – the most famous mountain of the Massif of Monts du Cantal. You can also visit the city of Rodez, known for its pink sandstone Cathedral and the museum of the painter Pierre Soulages.
