La Boucle du Tarn

About

Wake up to the sound of birdsong and the gentle lapping of the Tarn River.

When you arrive in Ambialet, you might feel a bit lost at first. Don’t worry — you’ll quickly understand how the village is laid out! The 3-kilometre-long meander of the Tarn forms a peninsula, overlooked by a priory and a Romanesque church from the 11th century, both built atop a schist rock needle. A magnificent view of the meander and the valley awaits visitors who follow the Way of the Cross up to the Priory. The village is notable for being built on the most pronounced isthmus in Europe.

In a former riverside house fully renovated in 2020, you’ll find a 65 m² ground-floor apartment with a large 30 m² terrace like a balcony overlooking the Tarn isthmus. Located in the upper town, it faces the arrival point for canoes and kayaks coming from Trébas. A shared garden of around 500 m² leads to the Tarn and its banks, where you can fish while enjoying the peace and quiet of the area.

You are just a stone’s throw from Albi’s cathedral and old town, listed as UNESCO World Heritage, and just an hour’s drive from the Tarn Gorges, the Roquefort Caves, the Causses and the Larzac plateau — all remarkable sites also listed as UNESCO World Heritage.

The apartment includes a living room with a fully equipped open-plan kitchen, a lounge area with TV, two bedrooms (each with a 160×200 bed), a bathroom, and a separate toilet.
