Vallée du Tarn

La Bastide Solages

Situation - one part of the territory of la Bastide Solages stretches down in the valley of the Rance, the other part in the valley Tarn. Albi is connected with Millau by means of an old railroad.  

Presence - the community has merely a agricultural background. About ten agricultures are exploited in an area of 2100 acres. Their mean income is the production of sheep milk for the famous Roquefort cheese. Some farmers also cultivate the tobacco plant. Solages is the centre of this community.

To visit – In St. Pierre there is a brick path over the Rance stowing the water. At the borders of the Rance and Tarn one can find nice fishing and pick nick spots.

From Solages there is a 6 km foot path leading you in many curves through the valley of the Rance.

Beautiful sceneries await you:

• At the statue of the holy virgin Mary, close to the village: a magnificent view over the valley Tarn and the village.

• From this plateau one can admire the valley of the Tarn from several angles.
