I was a manager in the French Alps,responsible for 200 corporate guests each week;champagne receptions,catering for groups up to 36,organised heli-ski drops,ski lessons,ski-guiding,children's snowshoeing adventures in forest tipi with stories,climbing,sailing.I returned to the UK and started a gardening business which grew to having 50 customers,but went back to France.And in 2014 I was responsible for a 5 bedroom manor house & gites near Agen; host,cook,gardener,pool attendant/management..... and then had a gite in Herault, but finally bought here in the Aveyron and now have The Tavern B&B.

Transformed into Chambres et Table d'Hotes. Unique here! There are 4 bedrooms and the cellar Tavern seating 20 people at a 3 metre table & side bars. The original bar still in place. Guests eat in the old Epicerie,now the dining-room or below in the double-vaulted cellar. The living-room was the village restaurant, which is now an area to relax after your tour of the region. Both the kitchen & Living-room look out onto countryside. 12km from the A75 & Millau viaduct, 20km from Millau, 45km from Rodez airport

Dating from the 6th century with two Roman churches dating Circa 11th & 12th,the houses on the ramparts are 14-15th century,and the Chateau de Levezou from 750.
