Nice arrival in Entraygue

Many centuries ago, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand could be helpful and useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as untamed forces of nature - for various purposes and thus be able to do without human or animal muscle power. Mills like these are a good example of the human engineering skills of earlier generations: the heavy millstones used to grind grain into corn or press oil, for example, could be powered by the wind or - as here - water.

Small town of character in Montsalvy, located in the heart of the Châtaigneraie Cantalienne, on the foothills of the Lot Valley. It is known for its famous basket festival, which takes place on the last Saturday of July

From the road to Conques, lovely view of the steep valley of the Lot, which flows below. The river marks the border between Cantal and Aveyron.

Beautiful asphalt road, in the Rance valley, between Saint-Étienne-de-Maurs and Roannes-Saint-Mary. Numerous signs, intended for cyclists, announcing the difference in altitude have been installed on the shoulders. In the fall, watch out for chestnuts on the road!

Small town of Marcolès with character. It has the particularity of hosting the international cycling criterium every year at the beginning of August.

The restored medieval bridge offers a superb spot for photos
