Spectacular Region:
Located in the southwest of the Massif Central, Aveyron offers spectacular landscapes. Its plateaus, called the Causses, have unique flowers. These huge plateaus are surrounded by the most charming rivers of France, for example, the Lot, the Tarn and Aveyron rivers, which often flow in deep gorges that are perfect for canoeing.
The area is covered with hundreds of miles of well-maintained trails, tracks and footpaths for the runner, allowing you to discover the breathtaking scenery of the Aveyron, in quiet and total freedom.
Beautiful Villages:
A must for visitors is a visit to some of the the most beautiful villages in France. These villages have been selected for the character, heritage and the desire of the inhabitants to protect their uniqueness. The Aveyron has 9 of these villages which is more than any other department in France.
Wonderful Food:
The department has an excellent reputation for good rich food with an amazing variety of recipes. The local products are famous for their flavour, and people travel a long way to come and enjoy specialities like aligot (a rich puree made with Tomme cheese, butter and mashed potatoes), stuffed cabbage, or estofinado (salt cod cooked in walnut oil). Indeed, nature has very generously provided Aveyron with ingredients that are the joy of cooks and gourmets alike, for example trout, crayfish, lamb, game, and cured pork and ham.
The Aveyron has everything to offer even the most fastidious gourmet, from your local little inn to the famous restaurants featured in international guides.
