Beauties of Aveyron

From the Camargue we made a long drive to the southwest of France, to Aveyron in the region of Occitainie. In contrast to tourist-oriented Provence, Aveyron is largely rural and undeveloped, though it has been an important part of France for nearly two millenia.

A hike through the countryside near Conques took us through vineyands growing the distinctive Marsillac grape.


The countryside was a spectacular panorama of  shapes and shades of green, punctuated with the beginnings of fall colors.
