La Roquette Nature as your horizon
7 hectares on the banks of the Lot
Nestled in a forest of centuries-old chestnut trees, on the banks of the Lot, La Roquette is a preserved place where time slows down. A family property of 7 hectares, far from the noise, where nature reclaims its rights with each season.
The river, heart of the estate
The Lot flows below the property. From the garden, a path leads directly to the water's edge — floating pontoon, clear water, flat rocks to dry off in the sun. One of the most beautiful rivers in France, a two-minute walk away.
- Direct access to the Lot from the garden
- Private floating swimming pontoon
- Clear water, preserved nature
- Fishing possible on site
- Canoe-kayak 2 km away
Under the chestnut trees
The centuries-old chestnut forest surrounds the property on all sides. In autumn, chestnuts fall along the paths. In summer, the leaves filter the light and create natural coolness. A living ecosystem to observe through the seasons.

A house and barn from 1850
The old stone house and barn date from the 1850s. Entirely renovated with natural materials — tadelakt, wood, lime render — they have kept their soul while offering modern comfort. A place that tells the story of this corner of Aveyron.
- Local stone, thick walls — cool in summer, warm in winter
- Renovation with natural materials
- Tadelakt, wood, lime render
- New-generation dry toilets
- Phyto-purification of grey water
- Full respect of original architecture
A place that respects nature
La Roquette is a place where ecology and biodiversity are at the heart of everything. Grey water is treated by phyto-purification. Toilets are dry. Water comes from a natural spring that can become scarce in summer — we count on everyone's awareness to preserve it.
Here, saving water is not a constraint: it's living in harmony with the land.
