The Gîte
Sitting on the side of the rolling hills of the Segala in South Aveyron, La Lande is an old "corps de ferme".
In 2015/2016 we restored and renovated the imposing stone barn to create a holiday home, the Gîte des Milans. It has been restored to the highest 21st century standards, with underfloor heating and solar water heating, while retaining original stone and timber features throughout.
The Area
We are situated in the commune of Bor et Bar in the Aveyron in South West France. Unlike our close neighbours of the Lot and the Dordogne, we have green rolling hills interspersed with steep sided river valleys.
Although situated in the peaceful countryside, we are only a 5 minute drive from La Fouillade which has a couple of bars, a lovely bakery and a good sized Intermarché supermarket.
The Aveyron is surprisingly not on the main list of SW France tourist destinations which considering it has 10 of the villages voted "the most beautiful in France" seems a bit strange, but nevertheless a blessing to those looking for a more peaceful holiday.
Our nearest "most beautiful village" Najac, is only 8km away, and a "must visit" destination for any visitor.
