Cycling Pays de Roquefort.
More pictures on Pays de Roquefort. South of the Tarn river, water acting on the limestone plateaux created caves, subterranean rivers, gushing springs. The most famous of the caves is now still used for the ripening of sheep cheese: Roquefort, king of cheeses, cheese of kings.
Pays de Roquefort: A Land of History and Tranquility Explore the Pays de Roquefort, where the rugged Causse du Larzac reveals restored medieval Templar garrisons—launching points for crusades in the 10th to 13th centuries. Nearby, the Redlands of Camarès cradle the serene Cistercian Abbey of Sylvanès, a jewel of spiritual heritage. Your journey begins in St.
Affrique, a quintessential southern town and the gateway to
endless walking trails. Here, the landscape unfolds in peaceful solitude,
with only the occasional shepherd to share the path as you wander through
untouched natural beauty. |

| Dans le "Midi" du Sud-Aveyron Discover the Authentic "Midi" of South Aveyron Far from the crowds, 700 km south of Paris, the Tarn River winds its way from the Cévennes through the wild landscapes of Lozère, Aveyron, and Tarn. Here, the true spirit of the French "Midi" comes alive: a land of sun-drenched mountains, towering limestone plateaus (Causses), lush valleys, and roaring rivers—the Tarn, Jonte, Dourbie, Lot, Aveyron, and Dourdou. This is a place of charming villages, not bustling cities, where traditional French cuisine thrives in family-run hotels, and every visitor is greeted with genuine warmth. La Ligne Verte is nestled in the tranquil village of Broquiès, in the heart of the Gorges des Raspes—a hidden gem within the Parc Régional des Grands Causses. This untouched corner of South Aveyron is a haven for cyclists, hikers, and birdwatchers, offering dramatic scenery and rich history. Explore the legacy of the Templars, medieval cloisters, and sacred pilgrimage sites, all while immersing yourself in nature’s grandeur. Your journey can begin in Albi, a picturesque city that serves as the perfect gateway to the Grands Causses Nature Park. Follow the Tarn Valley to Millau, a route that unfolds over 2 to 4 days by bike or 7 to 8 days on foot, revealing the soul of this extraordinary region. |
