The Aveyron is a major food producer for all of France.  The style and history of this region’s cooking is rich and varied and is often of exceptional value. 

Michel BrasThe Aveyron region features delicious cheeses, nine with A.O.C. labels including Roquefort, Laguiole, Cantal, Bleu des Causses, Saint-Nectaire as well as the local favorite, Cabecou.   From country auberges and burons to grand restaurants such as Michel Bras, designed by Philippe Starck and one of the top rated restaurants in the world, the Aveyron offers a neverending temptation of gastronomical delights.

BoulangerieThe area's specialties include foie gras, fresh trout, outstanding lamb and beef (some say the finest in all of France!), sausage, ham, fouace, wild mushrooms, pink garlic, chestnuts, honey, strawberries, raspberries and more.   There are also fabulous bakeries, patisseries, butcher and other specialty shops worth exploring.

Aveyron is blessed with four wine producing regions, all tucked away in a picture-perfect countryside.
