A breathtaking waterway weaving through dramatic landscapes
Aveyron: A Fly Fisher’s Paradise
Tucked within the rugged beauty of the Massif Central, Aveyron stands as one of France’s most expansive departments. Its soul is etched by sweeping vistas—from the windswept Aubrac plateau to the serpentine gorges carved by the Truyère, Lot, Aveyron, and Tarn rivers.
