"The chateau was absolutely great. The best accommodation we have had in France over the past 19 years. Thanks again for an excellent holiday location. We took photographs, printed them as postcards and sent them to our friends in the UK. There is a great deal of interest in the Chateau!! We did have a James Bond theme evening during our stay complete with Martinis and casino games. An excellent backdrop for such an evening."
"We have recently returned from our two week stay in the Chateau and enjoyed our time there immensely. The chateau and the facilities were splendid and all our family had a great holiday."
"We very much enjoyed our stay at the Chateau and would be interested in returning next year. We would also like you if possible, to personally thank Anita and Bertrand, who helped us above and beyond the call of duty when somebody hit our hire car. They are very friendly, without being obtrusive. Is it possible you could forward prices for next year so that we can think about organising."

For those looking to experience rural France at it’s most beautiful, the immaculate Chateau Laroque positioned on the outskirts of Rodez, in the heart of the Aveyron, is the perfect setting.
After crossing extensive grounds, you reach the Chateau Laroque through gates opening onto a large courtyard on the north side. South of the property is a swimming pool and landscaped garden, while the east wing of the building is an ornate tower featuring a ‘Pigonnier’ style loft with circular rooms. Many of the main rooms have been hand painted by an Italian artist in the 19th century, are of generous size and feature vaulted ceilings. Up to 20 people can be accommodated in the elegant but comfortable dining room. The main living room is very large with traditional, period furniture.
A total of six bedrooms sleep 12 people or more. There is a huge party room, a large games room with a pool table and a wine cellar. For those wishing to rent the property during the winter, the Chateau Laroque is centrally heated. The majority of the chateau dates to the late 19th Century, with the Pigeonnier part of the property being built in the 12th century.
