> Sports
and leisure in the Aveyron region

You
can go fresh-water fishing on the shaded banks of the
Aveyron rivers, streams and
lakes.
The
Millavois region is one of
the European cradles of hang-gliding
and paragliding. Its geographic
situation - set in a huge
basin at the crossroads of
the vast limestone plateaux
of the Causses - offers all
the opportunities of an ideal
site for taking off under
the best security conditions.
And the gushing waters of
the Tarn and Lot rivers provide
sensational settings for water-sports
lovers in search of adventure
and excitement, particularly
at the Gorges of the Tarn and the Lot. Activities
range from canoeing and kayaking
to rafting, or rowing leisurely.
There are also many artificial
lakes where you can practice
all the water sports that you like. The network
of cycling routes is so rich,
you can cycle around
the Aveyron on bicycle or
mountain bike. And there are
hundreds of miles of well-maintained
footpaths for the rambler to discover the breathtaking
scenery of the Aveyron, in
quiet and in total freedom.
The mountainous regions of
the Aveyron provide a large
number of climbing sites and an amazing subterranean
world.
