| The medieval town of St-Antonin-Noble-Val is a 10-minute drive from La Petite Maison. Set on the banks of the River Aveyron, the town is famous for its architecture and narrow winding streets - the film "Charlotte Gray" was recently filmed here. The town also has the oldest civic building in France, which dates from the 12th century. |  | ![St-Antonin-Noble-Val & River Aveyron [click to enlarge] St-Antonin-Noble-Val & River Aveyron [click to enlarge]](http://www.tarntotalcalm.com/sites/letsites/clients/margot/photos/margot_072_.jpg) |
