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.

This 14th century bridge spans the Dourbie at the exit of Nant. Magnificent structure with two semicircular arches, it has been on the list of historical monuments since 1944. When you cross it, you can see the remains of another old medieval bridge.
