Maison au Bord de l'Aveyron

On the road to Montricoux, between Bruniquel and its valley neighbour, a stone house reaches right to the bank of the Aveyron. Not “with a river view” — directly on it. The garden slopes down to the water, and the water is clear, calm, accessible. Swimming, fishing, canoeing: all from the property.

Three bedrooms, a fitted kitchen, a living room that opens onto the riverside terrace. The gîte holds 4 stars and 9.7 on Booking — the kind of score you get when a place delivers what it promises. No breakfast included: you shop in Bruniquel or Montricoux and eat facing the water.

Bruniquel castle is five minutes by car. Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val fifteen. But the real reason to come here is the river — in the morning mist, under the afternoon sun, in the evening when herons skim the surface.
