Les 2 Rivières restaurant for its welcome, its availability, its kindness and its food

Built on a 15th-century oratory, it was restored in 1537 and then renovated from 1634 to 1635. It is a marvel. The painted vault is exceptional and was created in 1844 by the Italian painter Cerroni.

Pretty medieval town with character

Village nestled in greenery, at the crossroads of Viaur and Aveyron. Laguépie offers superb swimming opportunities and is quite popular there. In autumn, the chestnut is in the spotlight. Don't miss the market dedicated to it! The ruins of the castle of Saint-Martin de Laguépie can be visited occasionally.

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.

As the road meanders it's way along the hill crest you get a great view of the peninsular of Ambialet that is formed as the Tarn river wraps itself around the rocky outcrop upon which is built the centuries-old former Franciscan Monastery.

This village used to be a place of commerce for the surrounding farmers and local businesses. The town is built around the animal market and regular weekend food and antique markets are still held in the summer time. You will also find some local shops, mini-market and cafes on the main street.
