The Averyon region is a timeless corner of rural France, sandwiched between four popular tourist regions. The natural features and landscape are stunning with deep gorges, dramatic rock formations and large other-worldly plateaus. As many of the roads are winding up and down mountains it can take a little longer to get to places, but it usually worth the extra time. Visitors come to canoe, swim or fish in the rivers Tarn, Dourbie and Jonte, which run through magnificent gorges Millau, an hour away, has a healthy hang-gliding scene and a good range of shops. It also hosts a market on Wednesday and Friday morning, with Friday being bigger and busier. Roquefort-sur-Soulzon, home of the world renowned Roquefort cheese. Visiting the caves where the cheese is stored is a must. Try the different types of Roquefort, as only one or two varieties get exported. Mt Aigoual, in the heart of the Cevennes and an hours drive north-eastwards, is a favourite location for cross country skiing in the winter time, and good for mountain walks and blueberry picking.
