Be sure to plan a full day for Figeac, with its charming half-timbered houses. The Champollion Museum – Les Ecritures du Monde is well worth a visit. It is dedicated to the French explorer who was the first to decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs.

A signposted tour allows you to visit the place on your own. At the entrance to the fort there is a flyer ("Les clefs de Cardaillac") with which you can go on a discovery tour of the village. You can visit various towers there. From the top of one of the towers, the Tour de Sagnes, you have a very beautiful panoramic view of the village and the surrounding landscape.

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand could be helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature - for various purposes and thus be able to do without human or animal muscle power. Mills like these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: the heavy millstones used to grind grain into corn or press oil, for example, could be powered by the wind or - as here - water.

Beautiful asphalt road, in the Rance valley, between Saint-Étienne-de-Maurs and Roannes-Saint-Mary. Numerous signs, intended for cyclists, announcing the difference in altitude have been installed on the shoulders. In the fall, watch out for chestnuts on the road!

A nice city with many beautiful buildings.
