The confluence of the Viaur and Aveyron rivers, at the crossroads of the ancient provinces of Rouergue and Albigeois, creates a landscape with multiple influences, from the fairly open Aveyron valley at Varen, to the vast wooded slopes that frame the two rivers until they join at Laguépie.

The more discreet Seye is the Bonnette's little sister, flowing further east into a landscape of charming hedged farmland and mysterious woods... Castles, abbeys and medieval villages are set in a lush green setting.

Marking the boundary between the limestone plateaux of the Causses and the agricultural hills of Rouergue, the Bonnette flows through a beautifully preserved natural setting. Populated by numerous mills and carpeted with meadows, it offers an idyllic setting for walks, with numerous viewpoints to discover.

Emblematic of the Quercy region that begins here, the Causses de Caylus are an astonishing environment that can be discovered stone by stone, whether on the ground, in the low walls or in the traditional farmhouses and dovecotes that populate this area of shady sunken lanes.

With their majestic cliffs and remarkable Natura 2000 listed biodiversity, the Aveyron Gorges are a veritable jewel of nature, to be discovered on a hike or during a longer stay to appreciate all its facets.
