Aveyron - a journey in the footsteps of the Templars
The Department of Aveyron is located in the South of France in the Occitania County. It is a picturesque region with many secrets. History buffs can explore Aveyron, following in the footsteps of the Knights Templar and learning about the mysterious, fortified commanderies and Romanesque chapels built for the Order. Aveyron is one of the eight departments of the very large Midi-Pyrénées region , located at the foot of the Pyrenees. This area is very diverse in terms of landscape. To the east, it is surrounded by three limestone plateaus : Aubrac, Causse Noire and Causse du Larzac, and there are also three rivers : Aveyron, Viaur and Tarn. To this must also be added the tops of the mountains, national parks and historic towns full of medieval buildings.
