You might wonder! G's Dad bought a farmhouse in Aveyron a few years ago to retire to. As he settled into the area, he told us all about how Aveyron is THE outdoor destination in France. It's famous for its beautiful and varied landscape from the plateaux and mountains in the north to the escarpments and gorges in the southeast. There are plenty of extreme sports like hang gliding, white-water rafting and para-sailing to be found, but what interested us was the rich availability of terrain to explore by more moderate means of exercise; the smaller rivers to kayak or canoe that wend their peaceful way through farmland and medieval cities, the nearby Pyrenees and Massif Central to hike and camp (and maybe snowshoe?!), the lovely and eerie caves to explore, the hilly trails to mountain-bike.
D began to be really interested in this place!
So, we generated this idea a few years ago. What if we could earn our living doing what we loved?! The thought was absolutely thrilling! And then we began to seriously plan this thing. We've got family (and family who is willing to help us get on our feet...thanks, Dad!) right there. We've got a wonderfully un-exploited area full of natural wonder and cultural/historical richness. We've got the will to make it happen.
And that's why Aveyron!
Enjoy the journey,
