About the location

This area offers great walking for all tastes. You can take a leisurely stroll from the village, and take in gorgeous scenery and gorges. For the more adventurous, the Pyrenees are close, and offer a multitude of walking opportunities.

The 'Little Yellow Train' which starts in Villefranche is a must. It goes through narrow gorges with spectacular views - get there early for an open topped carriage.
