Right in the heart of the old quarter, opposite the old main street, this high 13th century bridge connects the two banks of the Dourbie in a single masonry arch. Until the 18th century, it was the only bridge in the village. Today, it can still be used by pedestrians.

Magnificent Caussenard village, Saint-Jean-du-Bruel is ideally located on the Dourbie. The village is stepped and several buildings are very tall, rising from the river to the top of the gorge. Many development works, bridges, reservoirs, canals, dykes, allow the construction. Former village of potters, several buildings tell this story. Noria, a museum dedicated to water, also talks about the history of Dourbie. The village also has very beautiful medieval buildings, including a sumptuous old bridge, as well as all services and shops.

Special geological formation on the Causse Bégon. A small cave has been dug by erosion in a limestone rock.

These ovens, also called Valettes ovens, were inaugurated in 1905 by the Société des Mines Métalliques de l’Aveyron. The five furnaces were intended for the enrichment of an ore extracted in the surroundings by reduction, however, the results were not those expected and they will be shut down and abandoned in 1914. Part of the stones from the furnaces have been reused in buildings in Saint-Jean-du-Bruel.

Nice view of the village of Cantobre and the Grands Causses from the banks of the Dourbie. This village served as a lookout post since Roman times.

The Roc Nantais is a rock in the shape of a monumental tower dominating the Dourbie at 808m. It obviously offers a magnificent viewpoint from which to admire the Larzac and the foothills of the Cévennes (on the left), the St-Alban (opposite) and the Causse des Cuns (on the right).

Magnificent path bordering the ledge overlooking the Dourbie and offering magnificent viewpoints.

Large face of stone firmly anchored in the Causse Bégon, as if it sheltered a giant whose only head would be visible. A nice climb to reach the top of the rock, but it would be a shame to miss the breathtaking view of the valley and the village of Nant. It is a real must in the region, the climb is worth it! There are several access paths, more or less difficult depending on the desire and the level, and the ascent can also be done from Cantobre or from Saint-Jean-du-Bruel.
