In the area
The nearest shops, bars, restaurants, doctors and dentists, garages
(and a Saturday morning market) are at the picturesque hill-town
of Cordes
sur Ciel, only minutes away by car. Cordes, at the heart of
the bastides region, is reputed for its historic architecture,
numerous artists, truffle markets and medieval festivities. Nearby
are other charming ancient hill-towns, the vineyards and chateaux
of the Gaillac wine district, the wooded valleys and hills of
the Grésigne forest, the new sports and leisure complex
of Cap’ Découverte, and numerous country restaurants
serving the many gastronomic delights of the region.
It is only a 20-minute drive to the fine medieval city of Albi,
with its stunning cathedral, magnificent Toulouse Lautrec museum
and an 18-hole golf course. The beautiful wooded gorges of the
Aveyron valley are only 30 minutes distant, with canoeing on the
river and the Sunday market at Saint Antonin Noble Val. The cultural
and cosmopolitan charms (and international airport) of Toulouse,
la ville rose, are within one hour by car.
