Where is it?

What to do

Rural life, with beautiful scenery and outdoor activities such as climbing, kayaking, cycling (if you're fit).  Many pretty villages and gastronomic delights, including local specialties such as Roquefort cheese.

Cities - Albi (65km) and Castres (100km), both in the Tarn are the nearest large cities. Rodez is well worth a visit as is the fantastic Millau Bridge (Viaduc de Millau)
 

What's the weather like?

Getting there

Pretty good!  We reckon a mean temperature of 55^o and annual rainfall of about 30".  From March to October you can be outside without winter woolies.  The nights do get cold and the winters are cold, but reliably short.

Population Density - 17 habitants per km²

Getting to Broquiès from the UK is pretty straight forward.  The roads are great and the driving scenery wonderful.  We usually fly Stanstead to Rodez, which is 65km due North of Broquiès.  Other places to fly to include:

• Toulouse - 165km
  Carcassone - 170km
  Montpellier - 150km
  Clermont Ferrand - 270km

A nice drive is from Clermont to Millau (A75), which is only 65km away, and you can visit the the famous viaduc de Millau.
