OUT AND ABOUT

There are around 20 hours per week of yoga, singing, dance and art (depending on the individual course) leaving plenty of time to get to know your surroundings. The area around La Roane is great walking and cycling country (bicycles available free of charge) with the spectacular Gorges de l'Aveyron just a mile away. For the experience of a lifetime, visit the Grotte Trasadou and La Dame Blanche, prehistoric caves that were used by resistance fighters during the last war.

Our local town, St Antonin is 3 miles away; a magical medieval town, which retains its original charm. It boasts the oldest civic building in France, the 10th century Town Hall (now a museum), La Maison d'Amour (a mediaeval brothel !), and it is the scene of a very colourful market every Sunday. It was the setting of the film 'Charlotte Grey' with Cate Blanchett.

  

Flowing though St Antonin is the River Aveyron, ideal for picnicking, swimming and, for the more adventurous, canoeing down the rapids.
