パンペロンヌのおすすめツーリングルート

The sleepy village of Tanus, which has been bypassed by the new road viaduct, is beautiful and worth a stop to admire, especially if you've just ridden up from the gorge of the Viaur

Wonderful view of the stunning viaduct du Viaur, an engineering marvel, taking the railway across the gorge of the Viaur. Designed by Bodin, not Eiffel as is commonly misunderstood, it is an amazing sight. There are picnic benches to sit and admire it

Sturdy footwear required! Beautiful tour!

The water is shallow and the place is deserted.

Superb mountain bike ride

The Pont de Thuriès is a 13th Century bridge over the Viaur river that opened up trade between the Rouergue and the Albigeois regions. There is a picnic area nearby and you can also swim in the river.

The Notre-Dame-de-Lasplanques church, once surrounded by a small hamlet, dates back to the 11th century. Its lost location in the Viaur valley and its defensive architecture allowed the population to take refuge there in the event of an attack, in particular from trucking companies (looter soldiers and mercenaries of the Middle Ages).

Meander on the Viaur having eroded a formidable rocky outcrop ideal for the establishment of a castle from the 13th century on the road leading from Toulouse to Lyon. Much later, the site took on an economic interest with the creation of a dam of more than 30 meters between 1919 and 1923.
