The Renaissance building was constructed in 1572 by order of the "noble Bernardin de la Valette," who was tasked by the consuls with the defense of Espalion during the Wars of Religion. Today it is an artists' residence with temporary exhibitions.

Viaduct on the old railway line transformed into a so-called Bertholène greenway, between Bozouls and Espalion. The viaduct, 25 meters high, is equipped for climbing.

Located on the edge of the river, this village offers a rather unexpected discovery. The village is located more than 200 kilometers from the nearest coast, but it is here that the famous Rouquayrol & Denayrouze regulator was designed, at the origin of the regulator which now equips all divers in the world. The diving suit museum is located in the Saint Jean-Baptiste church. With its red stone façade in the neo-Gothic style, a visit to this atypical museum is a must. A statue of a diver who sometimes has his feet in the water, depending on the flooding of the river, is nearby.

Espalion is a slightly larger town in the Lot Valley. If you are traveling on the GR-65, you could also take a rest day here, for example to visit the Calmont d'Olt castle ruins. This castle dominates the silhouette of Espalion. In Espalion there are still old tanner houses and a Gothic bridge from the 13th and 14th centuries, the Vieux Point. It is an unforgettable experience when you approach this city after a long day's hike on the GR-65 and can enjoy this original cityscape.

There is next to drinking water and toilets also a nice rest area.

The 11th-century Romanesque church is made of red variegated sandstone from the region. Noteworthy are the upper chapel with an altar from the Carolingian period from the 9th century. He shows the Archangel Michael as a dragon slayer. The capitals of the arched room are decorated with mythical creatures, animals, human beings and angels.
