What is it really like for holidays in the Midi-Pyrenees
To the north the Lot - old Quercy - the most photographed bridge at Cahors and the prettiest villages above the Dordogne at Rocamadour and the Lot at St-Cirq-La Popie
The east the Aveyron with the most delightful river valleys in all of France
To the west quiet peaceful Gers - musketeers and Armagnac from old Gascony
To the south the Pyrenees - just beautiful foothills up to mountains - along with Jurancon and Lourdes - Jurancon-sec the French well kept secret
In the middle Toulouse - hi-tech young & vibrant - the rose city of the south - named for the pink stone
Albi equally pink and artistically assertive
And the whole package comes with relaxed charm |
