サン・ロベール周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ8

I FOUND THIS ON WIKIPEDIA: The Laclotte events are a war crime which happened on June 7, 1944 in Castelculier, France. They are orchestrated by the Agen Gestapo with the help of French collabos. A military action is made against the Corps Franc Pommiès, a French Resistance organization, by the 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich. The Laclotte castle attack ends with the shooting of civilians. This operation against French Resistance continues the same day in Saint-Pierre-de-Clairac, a small village near Castelculier by the same Waffen-SS. A few days later, this 2nd SS Panzer Division ("Das Reich") will be responsable of the Tulle murders and the Oradour-sur-Glane massacre.

Coming from the north we found the path hard to follow and komoot a little off. Leaving the sight south bound, was the much easier route. As you pass through the ruins of CHATEAU DE LACLOTTE on your right you will first see the white monument with the names of The resistance. Back on the path and to your left you will see some steps with a wooden rail, up those steps is another plaque. Dedicated to Andre Mazeau for facing the enemy on the 7th June 1944.

Totally level cycle path, without any difference in height, all along the canal among rows of plane trees and oaks.

Overlooking the valley from its promontory, the town of Beauville seems to be one with the rock. To see: the corner square, surrounded by stone and half-timbered houses, the Saint-Jacques church, dating from the 14th century (with its Renaissance door and the bell tower-porch). It is said that during the Hundred Years' War, Beauville, formerly called Boville (city of the Ox), triumphantly resisted the attacks of the English.

Old fortified castle, located on a rocky promontory, defending the village of Beauville. It is made up of thick surrounding walls, a protective half-moon. The foundations and bases date from the end of the 13th century. About half of the building dates from the 16th century (mullioned windows). The Renaissance architecture is present in the front door and the fireplaces. Finally, a wing of the building was rebuilt in the 19th century. From 1831 to 1976, the building served as a gendarmerie barracks. Private castle. Can only be seen from the outside. By the way, don't forget to enjoy the beautiful views outside from this high vantage point.

Combebonnet would have originally been the center of a rural exploitation. To defend it, its owner would have built a small fortress. The original castle had the shape of a right triangle whose east and west angles were topped with cantilevered watchtowers. Two of the sides were naturally fortified. At the end of the 13th or beginning of the 14th century, a square tower armed with cross pattée loopholes was added to the north corner. The castle was remodeled and enlarged at the end of the 15th or beginning of the 16th century. It was perhaps at this time that buildings, now demolished, were attached to the east, and a chapel was built as well as the enclosure which defended some houses. In the 17th century, the castle was extended on the north side. The two semi-circular portals decorated with columns, giving access to the courtyard, date from this period. To the west stands a chapel with a flat apse.

The first thing I noticed positively, from here the bike path along the canal is much better from the surface.
