Gîtes Castel de Cantobre

General information

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 Millau 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. Free secure WiFi is also available.
