Situated a short walk from the medieval working village of Entraygues, overlooking the river Truyere , our one bedroom studio/Gite is the ideal place for discovering one of France's best kept secrets, the beautiful department of Aveyron.
This department has more beautiful villages than any other department of France.

We also have off road parking and if required the use of a small garage.
There are other Gites in the area that need a car to get into the village, we are just a short walk over the bridge from the shops, restaurants, bars, bakers etc.
Entraygues sur Truyere is a working village, primarily farming and tourism. There are all the usual amenities including a small cinema and a bank.
During the summer there are weekly farmers markets and festivals through out the year.
The village is situated on the confluent where the rivers Lot and Truyere meet and so there are many activities on the rivers such as canoeing and fishing. The area is fantastic for wildlife watching. We have seen kingfishers, herons, fish, coypu and cormorants on the river as well as buzzards and deer in the garden.
We are road side but the Gite is above the garage and so road noise is reduced.
Vue du Pont would make the ideal base to explore Aveyron and the nearby Auvergne or just to wander round historic Entraygues. Conques, Estaing and Espalion are a short drive away. Rodez the area’s capital is less than an hour away. Millau and Mur de Barrez are also worth a visit.
