Travel 2016 – Tip 8 – France – Peyre

I travelled to the Millau Viaduct today and was suitably impressed – however my tip for the day is to visit the village of Peyre after visiting the viaduct. Follow the signs for the village from the town of Millau. Peyre is situated on a bend of the Tarn River with views of the Millau Viaduct and the river. Parts of Peyre are chiselled out of a cliff, colourful flowers adorn window boxes and plant pots, and the troglodyte church is impressive.

If you wanted to stay, one of the villagers was offering a room for 59 Euros including breakfast.

I travelled with Philippe whose email is felixtour@free.fr – he was superb and knowledgeable about the area. He even added in two extra visits to Templar/Hospitaller sights at the end of the day without being asked. The weather was brilliant and there was no rain.
