Supporting you in france and the UK

Welcome to the Aveyron, Southern France department of Southwest France. We hope you enjoy our enhanced website for the coming 2010 season.

We currently have 30 cottagesfor you to choose from. All of our cottages are personally selected for peace and tranquillity and most have dramatic views over rivers or deep valleys. With exception of two cottages each one has an exclusive or shared swimming pool. Linen is provided for all beds and towels are provided in all cottages. All are furnished to a high standard and are managed under our own supervision and accommodate from 2 up to 11 persons. Again this year Special “Just for 2” prices outside of peak season enable couples to stay at our larger houses at a competitive price.

We have introduced several new projects to improve your enjoyment of this magnificent area. We have an English speaking guide who can be hired for half a day or more. Janice is well versed in both the local surrounds and history and would help those who want to immerse themselves in this local knowledge or just take you where you might not otherwise visit. We are also introducing special interest breaks for those of you who want to improve your skills in painting, pottery, photography and cookery. Also we have a local gites owner who is a very experienced pilot and who can fly you over the valleys and hills to provide an exhilarating view of all below.

We will be offering a DVD catalogue of brochures of things to do and see, which will be sent to you prior to your visit so that you can plan what to do on your holiday.

We are introducing new cottages away from the immediate area but still in southern France. These cottages are owner managed and are chosen for the same high standards that we demand in our current portfolio. Many people who visit regularly might like a change of scenery. Here is the opportunity to do so with confidence.

We hope you enjoy this edition of our web site for 2010 and look forward to welcoming you to this most dramatic part of France and to one of our cottages.
