Roquefort, a village to visit, a cheese to enjoy<\/h2>
\n\t

Anyone who says that level gastronomy in Aveyron<\/strong>, there is nothing to make a cheese out of it is either a joker or a person who got the wrong country… <\/p>\n

Because if there is a department where local products are the pride of the French gastronomic heritage<\/strong>, it’s Aveyron ! <\/p>\n

Without further delay, direction Roquefort-sur-Soulzon<\/strong>, for a visit of its maturing cellars where the star of cheeses, the famous Roquefort, is quietly preparing to be tasted by fine gourmets. It is the collapse of the combalou<\/strong> plateau that is at the origin of the creation of these cellars whose faults (called fleurines) let a fresh air pass through that will make you regret not having planned a sweater during your visit!<\/p>\n

The appellation Roquefort is not given to just any cheese made from raw ewe’s milk and only the Lacaune breed is used to produce milk for the production of Roquefort AOC<\/strong>. Be careful, in the Causses the producers are concerned about the quality of the product and animal well-being! The ewes are encouraged to make the most of the natural areas of the region<\/strong> as long as the weather permits. <\/p>\n

The result? A delicious blue cheese to be enjoyed with a piece of farmhouse bread and a good wine from the C\u00f4tes de Millau. Don’t hesitate to go to Saint-Affrique, 10 km from Rochefort, to discover a village full of surprises with its beekeepers, its dairy farms or its Saturday market where you can supply yourself with local products<\/strong> each one more tasty than the other.<\/p>\n

And if you are still hungry (for culture this time) during your stay in camping in Aveyron<\/a>, go to the European heritage days<\/strong> in September. On the program, a large number of museums and other castles in the region will welcome you for visits rich in history.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n
