Saint Antonin


	Saint Antonin The old town of Saint Antonin Noble Val is just over an hour from Toulouse and Rodez airports. The towns of Albi, Montauban and Cahors are all worth a day-trip, as are the Gorges of the Aveyron. St Antonin lies on the right bank of the River Aveyron, opposite a high cliff known as the Roc d’Anglars. An abbey was founded in the town in the eighth century. Present-day St Antonin is a labyrinth of narrow streets, lined by superb, well-preserved pantiled houses of the 13th to 15th centuries. Most remarkable is the 12th-century former town hall – the oldest civic building in France. Opposite, is the 14th-century covered market, which is still the focus of the town’s popular Sunday market. St Antonin has a number of bars and restaurants and small shops. There are plenty of places to hire a canoe and many signed walks that will enable you to explore the countryside around. In the summer there are regular concerts and other events.
