cjg1 Says: This is one of the Must See's of St Ferme. As the hotbed of social interaction here in St. Ferme, the bakery is the center of all that is in this tiny town. Every morning we or some of us would come down here to get bread for the morning.
Mique Says: Anothe rinteresting thing i learnt during this tour was that those stone rigdes weren´t there for water drainage or so.. Well, in quite a different way anyway then i had assumed. Quite illogical on my part since they were halfway the height of the building. The left picture...
Mique Says: The benedictine abbey of Saint-Ferme dominates the complete village. Tours are given in this abbey that last around an hour and are at the moment given in French or English. I really enjoyed the visit. LEarnt much about the abbey although i have no doubt there is much more...

Chez Mireille: The nearest pub
cjg1 Says: The nearest pub to St. Ferme is actually in Pellegrue. It was closed when we finally made it there though.
cjg1 Says: The only options for getting here is to come by car. We found trains in nearby towns but nothing like that comes to this place. Such a small town of about 350 people I would imagine some bicycle to the next town or maybe even walk. But everyone we saw had a car.Not normally...
Boulangerie: Don't miss the fresh breads in the morning!
ceswho Says: It is the only bakery in Sainte Ferme. Fresh Breads. Euros
cjg1 Says: I must say this was the nicest part of the trip. Being here in the southwest of France for a week. I had my reservations about it for so long. But as soon as we arrived we knew we had in fact arrived. I wish we could fully convey the level of our thanks to our hosts for such...
Every morning fresh bread from the bakery
Mique Says: So delicious to have freshly baked bread and croissants for breakfast. And besides, it is the place for all the St. Ferme news, gossip and all that. If you speak french of course. The baker doesn´t speak english. But you can get a long way with handsignals..
Mique Says: Around Saint-Ferme and the villages around, there are many hiking trails. On the area in front of the abbey, you can find a board that indicates which trails there are, how long they are and where they start.Of course the most famous one is the route to Santiago de...
Mique Says: Although only residents of Saint-Ferme can marry in the village´s Mairie, the church can be used for weddings of non-villagers. And the Mairie rents out a room with an 18th century fresco on the ground floor for (wedding) parties.
Mique Says: I never had given it much thought but while on the tour of the abbey, the guide told us about how the stone masons marked their work. The key-like shape in the right-hand corner of the stone and the sign on the left were done on purpose. That way it was obvious who had...
Mique Says: Saint Ferme is build around the abbey. Next to the abbey you'll find the major's office and next to that there is the tourist information 'agency' (yes, there is a very small cabin-like place where you can get tourist info). In front of the abbey you'll find this amasing...
Plan a Saint-Ferme vacation with reviews, tips and photos posted by real travelers and Saint-Ferme locals
The hospitality of Jet and Gerritt was incredible. Nice and quiet. I miss the dogs, Tina and Shasha, horses and the ducks. A typical French Farmhouse.

Saint-Ferme, definitely off the beaten path...
My parents have taken the step of moving to France.. And this is where they've ended up... Saint Ferme. I had never heard of it before but it is a really charming little place (350 hundred...

Work on the benedictine Abbey of Saint-Ferme was started by black monks before the 11th century. Successive abbots and local inhabitants devoted themselves to the construction and defence of its...

The bakery is the hub and source of information in Saint-Ferme. It's the center for the town's gossip. Sandra tells her father, Janet, and Cecille that the baker is able to arrange a tour of the...

We were staying close by Saint Ferme - in it was the nearest bakery from our rental house near Dieulivol. In this quiet little village we found an excellent baker - but you had to arrive early in the...
