Introduction

In Aveyron, overnight/holiday lodge with private residence in a superb natural setting, within the future Natural Reserve of Aubrac. The gîte is on the Compostela pilgrimage route (on the GR65 between Le Puy and Conques), the route around the Aubrac heights (regional GR), and on the way to Saint Guilhem le Désert. These three well-trodden footpaths make this gîte sought-after and well used from March to October. Winter pursuits such as alpine and cross-country skiing and snowshoe hiking could prolong the season to great benefit. Located in a pretty Aubrac village (primary school, shops, doctor), on a 2000 m2 plot, the lodge faces due south and has a total surface area of 380 m ². It complies with disabled access standards and to fire safety requirements.

Exterior

At present, the gîte can cater for 20, but the large room could easily be converted to a dormitory for about ten additional beds. The gîte can be run by two people, (currently managed by a couple with 2 children). It offers half-board (dinner, bed and breakfast) and has a very good reputation. Turnover on request.
