| The Area |
|
|
Dunes is a 13th century medieval village surrounded by lush rolling hills and many beautiful towns and villages.
Nearby are several interesting villages. Auvillar is one of France's most beautiful overlooking the valley of Garonne with spectacular views over the surrounding countryside. Valence d'Agen has a special history with an ancient Lavoir and has a weekly market. Moissac is a town famous for the church with its impressive cloisters.
Nerac is only 25 miles away lying on the Baise river and the location for the film 'Chocolat'. The castle at Goudourville is also well worth a visit.
The city of Toulouse known as 'La Ville Rose' due to many of its buildings being constructed from the local pink brick. The city has a lovely shopping centre and very impressive main square called the 'La Place du Capitole' which is the centre of the original Bastide. Market days are not to be missed with the crowds, the smells and the sheer variety of produce!
The Millau Bridge is currently the highest and longest viaduct in the world and one of the most impressive feats of engineering to be found in Europe and although 3 hours away by car is well worth a visit.
The town of Carcassonne is just a couple of hours away where the Old City is enclosed within a medieval fortress. You can amble along the cobbled streets and enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants in the area.
The Canal du Midi which joins the Atlantic to the Mediterranean and adjoining canals provide an interesting and enjoyable tourist attraction with boats being available to hire. It is also one of the locations used for Rick Steins book 'The French Odyssey'.
There are a multitude of places to see and visit in this area of France and it is certainly considered one of the most attractive. |
