House/gite in medieval village of Najac

The village of Najac is one of the "plus beaux villages de France".

The house stands on the south side of a fine medieval street (mostly pedestrian) that leads to the Chateau.

Owned and completely restored and furnished by a potter/furniture maker to the highest standards. Inspired by the traditional inns of Japan (ryokan). It offers a calm environment created with natural materials; local woods (wild cherry, elm, oak, ash), for the furniture, raw silk, hand made ceramics and celadon tableware, original paintings. Please note, there are no ornaments or fragile furnishings to interfere with your relaxation!


Walking: The area around Najac is one of the finest in France for walking. The landscape is deeply cut by the winding gorges of the two rivers Viaur and Aveyron. The valleys are forested & quite wild, but easily accessible by clearly marked walks. Fine and varied domestic architecture abounds; beautiful clusters of houses in hamlets & villages often perched, like the medieval château, on prominent strategic points above the rivers. Within a few kilometres of Najac, one finds great variety of interest, Roman bridges, abandoned copper mines, & bastide towns like Villefranche-de-Rouergue, & Cordes. We recommend April, May, June, Sept and Oct for walking. Bird watching here is excellent. Canoeing, rock climbing, & other sports are available. River swimming is first-rate and safe for all ages.

Village: In the village there are café-bars, a baker, grocery shop, newsagent and a Doctor. Good restaurants of all price ranges and in the summer months, a Sunday market. The municipal swimming pool and tennis courts are open in the summer.

Najac is well served by rail. Daily services to and from Toulouse, Villefranche-de-Rouergue, Figeac, Rodez and Paris. Toulouse airport is 1 ½ hours from Najac and Rodez 1 hour.

Pottery: It is 10 minutes from the village and offer the chance to take pottery lessons. From beginner to more advanced level, all ages are welcome, please contact us for more details.

A week in Najac
This house was a wonderful place to stay, right in the centre of Najac. Simply but tastefully decorated with a great terrace for enjoying the evenings, we loved every minute. Parking was nearby, about 50m away. All of the cafés/restaurants were a short walk. A lovely house in a beautiful location. I would love to return.

Super host, lovely town
Sebastien is a great host! Fluent in 4 languages. His house is full of character and well equipped. The view from the very usable balcony is superb. We liked Najac very much. Fascinating buildings and steep hills! No private parking at the house but small public parking very close or larger one the other side of the square.

Jolie maison de ville dans une bastide magnifique
La maison du potier est parfaitement située entre la forteresse et le bourg de Najac qui est une bastide magnifique où règne une super ambiance l'été. C'est un QG idéal pour se balader dans le village et rayonner dans la région. A l'intérieur tout est hyper fonctionnel et arrangé avec goût et Sébastien est très aimable et connaît très bien la région. Je recommande vivement !!!!!

Un séjour à Najac
Très joli petit village situé sur une crête. Au bout en hauteur, une forteresse magnifique, que l'on peut admirer depuis plusieurs endroits dans le village. Bien sûr il est possible de la visiter. Marché le dimanche, petites boutiques d'artisans, petits restos bien notés, tout est la pour passer un excellent séjour. Et cerise sur le gâteau, la région est incroyable. Je vous invite à faire comme moi, venir visiter un des plus beaux villages de France.
