Aveyron Vacation Rental farmhouse: Ginals

The House and Area: The house being on old Quercy farmhouse, the living accommodation is situated on the first floor. The ground floor(sous sol) is dry and is used for storage and there is also a shower room etc. The house has the benefit of the sun for the greater part of the day and being built of thick stone walls the interior is cool in the hot weather. This is a beautiful and unspoilt area that lies just beyond the limestone plateaux (causses) of Quercy in the rolling hills of Rouergue. The deep wooded slopes of the valleys and surrounding hills in which ancient hamlets nestle gives plenty of room for wildlife such as red squirrels, deer, wild pigs and birds which include birds of prey, hoopee etc. The area boasts of many natural attractions such as caves, grottos, gorges, water falls and forests etc.

The Climate: Lying on the same latitude as Nice, this area enjoys long hot summers and glorious Springs and Autumns. In this attractive spot a true taste of rural France, rich in medieval history, can be experienced.

Eating Out: There are many reasonably priced restaurants, cafes, and fermes auberges within easy reach, to sample the traditional Gallic pleasures of the superb food and wine of South West France. Nearby are the wine growing areas of Gaillac, Quercy and the famous Cahors with the opportunity to try and buy the local vintages.

Other Activities: Canoeing on River Averyon
