At an altitude of 600 metres, between green valleys and deep forests, the Au Fer à Cheval estate welcomes you in an exceptional natural setting, ideal for group stays. Located in Paulinet, in the Tarn, this large-capacity accommodation is a reception centre, educational farm and holiday farm, as well as a holiday centre and group gîte, set within a 19th-century farmstead.
