The Aveyron: A Land of Contrasts and History
 

Situated between Rouergue and the Mediterranean, the Aveyron captivates visitors with its many attractions:

Natural Landscapes: Discover contrasting landscapes, from vast plateaus to deep canyons (the Gorges du Tarn), passing through lush valleys. Lovers of the great outdoors can explore the many hiking trails, enjoy a spot of fishing (in Category 1 and 2 rivers) or paddle down the rivers in a canoe or kayak.
Templar Towns: A land of legend since the Middle Ages, the Templar towns of Larzac bear witness to a vibrant past. La Couvertoirade, Sainte-Eulalie-de-Cernon and La Cavalerie will impress you with their grandeur.
Heritage & Villages: Set off on the Route des Seigneurs du Rouergue, dotted with numerous castles (Montaigut, Fayet, Brousse and Coupiac). You’ll discover villages listed among the ‘most beautiful villages in France’, testaments to a well-preserved architectural heritage.
Gastronomy: A land of livestock farming, the milk from the ewes is used to make the famous Roquefort, and the nearby cellars are open to visitors all year round.
Must-sees: Don’t miss the spectacular Millau Viaduct and Micropolis (the City of Insects).
