Great medieval frescoes and a unique cloister

Nice steady climb over beautiful asphalt to the quiet village of Montequieu.

Beautiful abbey. There is also a hostel for pilgrims attached, where you can also find the stamp to put on your credentials.

Lovely view at the river

Lovely town, best to be near the water

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.

A nice stop on the road, very pretty. In addition, it offers a special rate for itinerant cyclists: reduced rate "eco-travellers"
