The countryside around Clos Géor encompasses lush, verdant valleys bordering the River Tarn, undulating vine-covered hills around Gaillac and the steep, rugged gorges of the Aveyron.

The cottage is just a 10-minute stroll away from the centre of Cahuzac-sur-Vère and its three boulangeries, excellent butcher’s shop/delicatessen, post office, bank and small supermarket. For lunch, we recommend "La Bonne Auberge", which has a good value "Menu du Jour", and "La Falaise" for supper. For really superb cuisine, try "Le Grand Ecuyer" in Cordes-sur-Ciel (15 minutes away), which has a Michelin rosette.

The picturesque bastides of Castelnau-de-Montmiral, Cordes-sur-Ciel and Puycelci are a short drive away. These fortified villages have spectacular panoramic views from their hilltop positions and several are listed amongst the "Plus Beaux Villages de France".

If you fancy venturing further afield, the historic town of Albi is well worth exploring. It has cobbled pedestrianised streets, attractive half-timbered houses, superb (but pricey) antique shops, stylish boutiques and innumerable tea shops and cafés overlooking elegant squares - and the town’s Toulouse-Lautrec Museum and splendid cathedral should not be missed.

The ancient walled cité of Carcassonne is also a fascinating place to visit, as is the elegant city of Toulouse, with its wonderful architecture, art galleries and restaurants.
