Location in France

Aveyron is the largest department in the Midi-Pyrenees. It has around 270,000 inhabitants today, while evidence of human civilisation has been found here dating back thousands of years. Like much of the Massif Central in which it is located, it has spectacular landscapes with great scope for canoeing and rock-climbing. Aveyron's most famous export is Roquefort cheese, which is produced with the large sheep population that grazes in the south.
Rodez, the prefecture, is an attractive city in a pleasant natural environment. It was founded on top of a hill overlooking the Aveyron River. At the highest point there is a charming Notre Dame cathedral built, curiously, in a Gothic style.
The medieval town of Belcastel has a huge amount of preserved architecture, and boasts a 15th Century Chateaux and the medieval bridge.
Further along, you will discover Villefrance-de-Rouergue, a town that has never lost its bustling, market atmosphere. The old houses demonstrate the early affluence the town achieved, mainly through the production of wool and the extraction of silver from the local mines.
Najac has an impressive castle, built on top of an extinct volcano. The town of Millau, has a population of 22,300 and is situated alongside the river Tarn in the southeast. It is situated, in fact, on the very border of the department and has long been plagued by an identity problem. The town's culture is much closer tied to Languedoc than the Midi-Pyrenees. It is a great town for anyone with a love of outdoor pursuits.
Ryanair will take you directly to Rodez from London Stansted. If you'd like to get there by land then it is recommended to use the fast and comfortable TGV train service, which will take you to Toulouse from where you can get another train into Rodez.
Whilst property prices have been going up for the whole region in recent years thanks to budget airlines making the area more accessible, prices are still reasonable compared to many other parts of the region.
