Au revoir to the Averyon region and Najac

It's with much sadness that we bid au revoir to Najac, which has made a wonderful home (or, as they say here, a pied-a-terre). The many faces of the town, its people and the region will stay with us forever. Whether it be taking our ease in the town square of St-Antonin-noble-Val, ambling through the quiet village streets in the evening (and making friends with the local cats, of whom there are quite a few), gazing out at the castle in varying light and still being spellbound after a month, walking through the hills and valleys of the surrounding countryside, visiting our favorite local market (at Villefranche la Rouergue), bidding a bonjour (or bonsoir) to our fellow-villagers....it all adds up to a rich and relaxing month. Anyone thinking of visiting this area: we'd encourage a minimum of two weeks, and let us know if you'd like the contact details for where we stayed as we can't recommend it highly enough.
