by the owner of this property:
We're in the department of Tarn (Mountain lake), Midi-Pyrénées region (Occitan: Miègjorn-Pirenèus) of the south west of France.

Tarn offers a beautiful living environment and is the perfect location for an activity holiday. Nature has kindly provided us with glorious hills and valleys offering an abundance of hiking & mountain biking trails. The rivers and lakes offer canoeing and swimming and water sports. The mountain roads are perfect for cyclists & offer plenty of challenges for the more serious cyclist. But apart from the range of activities it's a beautiful place to spend a relaxing holiday and just enjoy the scenery, the lovely places to visit the renowned regional foods & wines.

Some of the great places to visit from our area;
The beautiful city of Albi with it's incredible cathedral / Castres with it's lovely old quarter & the famous Goya museum / the beautiful market town of Mazamet / The amazing fortified city of Carcassonne / Chateau Lastours, a cathar legend / The Sidobre national park / The vineyards of Gaillac, some of the oldest recorded in France. The famous Millau viaduct which spans the valley of the river Tarn, the tallest vehicular bridge in the world slightly taller than the Eiffel tower and just 38m shorter than the Empire state building.
