Pretty good!  We reckon a mean temperature of 55o 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.
