Le Pigeonnier de Salesses - Self-catering house in Aveyron
Salesses, 12270 Najac, Aveyron
Midi - Pyrénées,
Francia
Greenery scampers up the walls of the three-storey stone house with its pretty dovecote. Terraced gardens and woodland encircle it: figs and plums, a duck pond, fragrant rosemary and mint. You can dip in the large pool, laze under a parasol, and barbecue under a honeysuckle-strewn canopy – don’t worry about breaking the silence, your only neighbours are deer. Light and airy with splashes of Provençal blue, the shabby-chic living area has a ceramic wood stove to snuggle by, angled lamps, and a gramophone and film projector in place of a TV. You can knock up a feast in the oak-lined kitchen and dine together on one of several terraces. Candles and monogrammed linen add a creative touch to the two simple bedrooms, and there’s space to squeeze more in with two single beds; one in a bedroom, the other on the landing. The hilltop village of Najac and its castle, lit up spectacularly at night, is a 30-minute stroll. The river Aveyron offers swimming, fishing and canoeing, and there are VTT routes and horse-riding nearby. A creative spot to enjoy solitude and silence – or simple fun with family and friends.

Local points of interest from Gill Higgins:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Gill Higgins:
- Leave tranquility behind and head up to Najac's authentic Sunday morning market for coffee in the "Bar de la Plage" which stays open all year round.
- Walk down from Le Pigeonnier to the 13th century bridge "Pont St Blaise" on the Aveyron river and swim, picnic, fish or kayak to your heart's content.
- The view of Najac's castle from Le Pigeonnier should be enough to entice you to visit this remarkable 12th century monument complete with stunning views of the village and surrounding gorges. The climb is worth it!
- Drive to the medieval town of St Antonin Noble Val with its beautiful squares and Sunday market. Heading on to Bruniquel and Penne, take "Route de la Corniche" on your left and experience the delights of the restaurant "La Corniche" , booking essential.
- Drive 25 mins to the bastide town of Cordes-sur-Ciel - a well preserved medieval town with dozens of narrow streets to explore. With a buzzing Saturday morning market, it is one of the most remarkable hill top towns in France.
- Head to the thriving market town of Villefranche de Rouergue - a 20 minute drive. The market is popular with tourists and locals and is held every Thursday morning.
