Ambiance

Salvagnac, an ancient fortified village, offers several discoveries: the castle towers (14th-15th centuries), the Notre-Dame church with its treasury of sacred art including a processional cross from 1514, and frescoes by Nicolaï Greschny (mid-20th century).In this region of cultivated lands, preference is given to traditional cereals, especially wheat. Grown on the hillsides of the Tarn, it provides millers with pure flour used in making "Lo Cantél"; a recipe based on artisanal practices resulting in a soft bread with a crispy crust and a creamy, melting interior.
