Gîtes Castel de Cantobre On the limestone cliffs of Cantobre is a glimpse of paradise! Check the photographs of the local fl Free secure WiFi is also available.

Our Castel incorporates two self contained gîtes, both of which have magnificent views and are named after the local (Griffon and Egyptian) vultures that often fly overhead. We are situated in the Aveyron department at the south-west corner of the Cevennes National Park just 80 minutes from the Mediterranean. A 30 minute drive down the beautiful Dourbie valley brings you to the historic town of Mi

llau where the crystal clear Dourbie (ideal for fishing) meets the river Tarn that then winds through the town and passes under the world renowned Millau Viaduct. More locally, a 10 minute drive up the Dourbie valley takes you to the 10th century village of Nant equipped with a variety of shops and restaurants. From our rock we have a 360 degrees view looking up and down the Dourbie valley and also up the Trevezel valley. The area is a paradise for people who love walking, bird watching, fly fishing, cycling, canoeing, butterflies, paragliding, the Tarn and Jonte gorges, orchids, stunning scenery, Roquefort cheese, Knights Templar fortified villages and lots more...

Both gîtes are very well equipped including UK Freesat television. We share our library with you so you can read a book or two while you stay with us, the library also contains many CDs and DVDs that you can play on the DVD player provided.

Another lovely write-up in one of our visitor books today :-

Relaxing and unforgettable holiday.
Thank-you to Peggy and Lionel for a superb time.
It’s lovely to come on holiday and find somewhere with everything you could need - from salt to hand-soap, a Hoover that works and great showers.
What a garden too with amazing butterflies!
BBQs and sitting on the terrace - vulture spotting by day and star-gazing at night.
Highly recommend the walks to St Sulpice and through the woods to Roc of Nant .
Also a trip to Millau viaduct and the fabulous Montpellier Le Vieux
Merci Beaucoup to Peggy, Lionel and Midge

It is a veritable testimony to the natural treasures which abound here in the Aveyron.

A blog of my walking in the Lake District, Switzerland, the Alps and southern France. Landscapes and wild flowers, lakes and mountains.

A review....
Another wonderful stay in Cantobre.
What keeps drawing us back?
Well, there’s the comfortable Gite, Peggy and Lionel’s generous hospitality and helpful tips on what to see and where to eat.
There’s the unforgettable view from the terrace of the Egyptian, the walks, the stunning flowers, the dragon flies showing off their colors along the streams of Nant, the air, the quiet - that’s probably enough of an answer.

More flowers !
