A lovely bridge over the Tarn; the view from the bridge is beautiful and the bridge itself is stylish.

A fortified castle on the Route des Seigneurs du Rouergue in Aveyron, overlooking its medieval village, classified as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France. Standing proud with its towers and fortified walls, the castle dominates the Tarn Valley, between Albi and Millau.

The Tarn valley is steep enough that leaving it involves a nice climb, 5 to 6 km with passages at 10%. And multiple routes around Ambialet.

As you come down the D74 road and around the last corner before entering town, you get a splendid view of the village of Ambialet and the old hilltop Cathar fortress. Both look as if they have naturally emerged from the local rock-bed over the past few centuries. There is one restaurant and two cafes in town as well as a cafe and small hotel just over the bridge on the other side of town.

Gothic church overlooking the village

Trebas Plage and its leisure center offers restaurants, cafes and many outdoor activities: hiking, tennis, handball, basketball, petanque, football, fishing, cycling Aqua Parc de Trébas is open from June to September. Swimming is supervised from 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. every day in July and August.

Follow the main road through Albi to the Pont Neuf, where you can get a spectacular view of the Albi Cathedral & the Toulouse Lautrec museum.

From the Lincou bridge, the view of the Tarn which meanders through this part of the valley is superb.
