A fine example of the local agricultural architecture, these unique Caselles have a number of different uses, for storing crops, sheltering animals, dwelling or similar. This one, right at a junction by a beautiful gravel cut through towards wonderful Villeneuve Aveyron, has a useful information board. You will see these buildings dotted around the landscape

A very nice chambres d'hotes in an old private house with a large garden. There is personal contact with the housewife, breakfast and also a small kitchen on the ground floor with a door to the garden. A small pool would also be a refreshment in the summer.
