The Aveyron is a first encounter with a sometimes tamed nature but often wild. Green valleys alternate with desert-like plateaus, cut by deep gorges and where the eye is lost.
Countries where the red sandstone and granite Aubrac gave way down south to huge limestone plateaus abandoned the sheep during the summer.
Country whose landscapes are preserved, where campaigns are maintained by a farmer perennial world where diverse promote the development of micro flora that delights the amateur botanist.
It is also an encounter with history. The unique topography of the region has led over time to a multifaceted habitat: dry-stone villages, with slate roofs or flagstone, castles and religious buildings that marked the route of the pilgrims of Saint Jacques de Compostella or testimony the history of the Templars ...
It is finally a meeting with real people, values attached to their farmers, proud of their knowledge and their singularity at a time when the world is increasingly smoothed and standardized. Hospitable people who know how to appreciate a simple and abundant food.

The main feature of our Department will undoubtedly contrasts offered a varied and rugged terrain.
In the north, the Aubrac mountains are the last hills of the Massif Central. The Lot valley "first smile of the South" marks the boundary between the mountain country and the vast limestone plateau just extend to the gates of the Mediterranean. The plateau is cut by lush valleys and deep gorges, these contrasting landscapes make Aveyron one of the most varied France Department.

There are in an exceptional number of Aveyron ranked on the list of the most beautiful villages of France villages. At the heart of the green countryside around a listed church or a medieval castle renowned these 12 villages (and many others not listed) are real pearls architecture and evidence of a long and rich history.

Fauna and Flora
Found in Aveyron 2 large natural areas are the Aubrac plateau and the Regional Park of Causses. These pickups unique systems allow the development of a unique flora. We can observe about 2000 different species including 200 rare and protected flowers. To mention only a few, the Sundew carnivorous flower that grows in bogs Aubrac, pulsatile anemones ... the orchids and orchid-colored lining the limestone soils of the Causses in the spring.
Near the Regional Park of the Cevennes, the reinstatement of animals in extinction is a very present theme ... not to mention the vital importance of livestock in our Department and its performance in terms of preservation and development of domestic breeds.
