Conques-en-Rouergue · Aveyron

The Place

A green sanctuary in the heart of Aveyron, steps from Conques.

The property

Nature as your horizon

Nestled in the Grand Vabre valley, Lalalandes spans 3,000 m² of unspoilt land. Forest surrounds the property on all sides, the river runs below, and from the terrace the view plunges into the wooded heights of the Dourdou. Here, the landscape is the first luxury.

The property

Remote, but not far from everything

Lalalandes is secluded enough that you only hear birdsong and the wind in the trees — and close enough to walk to the bakery in Grand Vabre. The best of both worlds.

  • 3,000 m² property, fully enclosed
  • No overlooking neighbours, total privacy
  • Private parking for 3 vehicles
  • Conques 5 minutes by car
  • Rodez 40 minutes, Figeac 35 minutes

  • Mushroom foraging in autumn
The village

Conques, a UNESCO medieval gem

A stone's throw from the property, the village of Conques is one of the most beautiful in France. Its 11th-century Romanesque abbey, cobbled lanes and medieval treasury make it an unmissable stop.

  • 75 m² of treated timber decking
  • Table and chairs for 8 people
  • Hammock strung between the oaks
  • Soft lighting in the evenings
  • Panoramic view over the valley
