Jamie’s home is located in Najac, Aveyron, Occitanie, France
Najac is one of the officially designated “Plus Beaux Village de France" (most beautiful villages of France) and a “Grand Site de Occitanie” - a picturesque mediaeval bastide (fortified village or town) it rests along a ridge above a bend in the Aveyron River.
The partly ruined château built in 1253, dominates the setting with the 13th century Eglise Saint-Jean, built by the villagers under duress as a punishment for their Cathar beliefs, just below. Both overlook the lower village with its shops, artisan workshops and places to eat. In the upper village the Faubourg has timber framed buildings, and arcades with cafés, shops, restaurants all grouped around a central square.
Immediately below the village, on the banks of the Aveyron river, you will find the municipal swimming pool, just minutes from La Singlarie. Opposite, over the bridge, bikes, kayaks and canoes can be hired. There is a new acro-branch centre at the same location for children (and adults!) to test their skills in the treetops, under supervision, and with the latest safety equipment. There is a bar and restaurant for pre/post activity refreshments. Shaded picnic areas can be found along the banks of the river.
During summer months there is a Sundaymarket and weekly night markets with regional produce and food available in the village squares.
Najac has an excellent general store “l'Epicerie du Coin” run by the delightful Marie-Agnes and her partner Laurent; a little further away (15 minutes from the farm) there is an Intermarche supermarket with all you would need for a weekly shop, plus a service station for fuel.

Najac is in a very rural setting, there is a train station with links to some of the nearer large towns and taxis available but otherwise getting around will be by car, foot or bike. It is a hilly area so getting around on foot or bike requires a good level of energy and fitness.
