'Living like a god in France' is the literal translation of a Dutch saying and it popped up into my mind on several occasions when I was exploring the Tarn et Garonne region in Occitanie, the South of France.
A perfect place to go hiking and cycling, eat great food and drink beautiful wines with friends and family. A great way to discover it is by hiking Camino de Santiago which runs straight through the region and connects hot spots and cultural highlights.
The cute little town of Moissac is home to a wonderful abbey and an ingenious bridge for boats!
It's a must stop for Camino de Santiago pilgrims and that shows all over the city where you see pilgrims passing through on their grand adventure to Santiago de Compostela

Budget Traveller Kash hard at work
Here you see hotel Moulain de moissac with on its left the wonderful boat bridge.
It's called pont de Napoleon and provides safe passage over the Tarn river for boats.
Auvillar
From Moissac we made our way to Auvillar by bike to discover a gem of a town. Such a quiet and lovely place! Perfect to escape the hustle and bustle from every day life and just eat well and enjoy down time with friends and family.
Organic and delish food awaits you!
Across the town you find little statues of St. Jacques the patron of Camino de Santiago
oh the views...
I'm a big fan of half timbered houses. They have so much charm!
The one and only St Jacques
This circular market place especially stands out.
And of course you'll find shades of pastel spread around town.
Back to Rose we went! Yup that's a tandem bike alright :-)
