When leaving (descending) Belcastel (about 1 km) don't miss the Lourdou near the river

The precise origins of Montbazens are unknown. However, rare but interesting remains suggest that its territory was inhabited during prehistory. Neolithic tools (from 5000 to 2500 BC) deposited in the departmental collections of the FENAILLE Museum in Rodez were found at the place called "Le Causse" to the west of the town.

Striking and beautiful village with the two towers.

Villefranche-de-Rouergue is a sub-prefecture of Aveyron. It is labeled "Grand Site d'Occitanie" and "Pays d'Art et d'Histoire". The city was founded in 1252. Among the architectural heritage of the bastide, there is the Collegiate Church and its porch, the arcades that go around the Place Notre-Dame, the alleys, the beautiful period residences and the Chartreuse Saint - 15th century saviour.

Belcastel (“war castle”, from the Latin bellum and castellum) is a magnificent medieval village built on the banks of the Aveyron under an imposing castle. The village is now listed as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, with for example a magnificent bridge spanning the river since the 15th century.

One of the largest medieval bastides in France, in the heart of Aveyron. Place Notre-Dame, surrounded by arcades surmounted by impressive Gothic-style houses, is cited as one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. Every Thursday morning, one of the most beautiful markets in the southwest is held there, not to be missed!

Impressive village with its two emblematic towers planted on a rocky outcrop, a lush medieval garden and a charming town centre. Pedestrian paths allow you to visit the surroundings of the towers.
