Aubrac
The region of Aubrac is offering some of the most astonishing landscapes in our country. This region is rather secluded, really off the beaten paths. It is a small effort to get there, but much rewarded. You will find a unique quaint sporting hotel -owned by a unique flyfishing character. Wonderful rustic gastronomy neighbouring the table of michel Bras, rated 6th best restaurant in the world. Beautiful streams crossed by the pilgrim's way to Compostella. You will come back with incredible memories and very likely also with the folding knife you've always dreamed of...

For instance, there is a sort of worldwide fan club of the dry sausage made by "Monsieur Conquet" these breads will accompany the famous "saucisson" and an excellent cheese for a nice riverside break don't forget your knife. The town of Laguiole gave its name to... the most famous folding knife in the world. There are dozens of workshops the "Maison Calmels" was founded in 1829, their knives are only sold here in Laguiole. There are no distributors in Paris and nowhere else. probably a holly tree hiding old legends you will discover amazing little restaurants, lost in the country like the famous "Rosalie" providing also bread to pilgrims to Santiago de Compostella arriving here across forests and moors from "Le Puy en Velay". following landmarks like this old cross * See other details about Aubrac click here. * Back to top |
