    In the heart of the Aveyron gorges, this picturesque stone bridge served a Gallo-Roman road linking Rodez to Cahors. Preserved natural setting. Hiking trail (GR 62 B).

    This ancient way allowed the movement of cattle, goods as well as ore extracted from the mines of the region of La Bastide l'Evêque.

    The bridge, an ambitious urban marker or a modest means of crossing a river or a river, was attached to seigneurial rights. Its defense was frequent and the work was used to charge taxes to travelers and merchants.

    The castle, of which a few ruins remain, ensured the lookout upstream and downstream of the river. A round tower still visible was in the enclosure of the castle, which occupied the English during the Hundred Years War.
