Auberge Des Arcades

About Us



  We are an English family who moved to the Aveyron and bought the
Auberge in 2006.

The photo on the left is of me, Richard and my wife Kathy.  The middle picture is of our 3 grandchildren Leena 14, Erin 10 and Ethan 5 years old and on the right is our son and daughter-in-law, Adam & Clare.

The children all go to school locally and speak French like the natives.

It’s a very different life from the one we led in England but we were determined to move to a more stress free environment for ourselves and our family.

  We hope you would like to visit us and share in  “living the dream”
