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

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.

Belcastel, as its name suggests, was a strategic point on the Aveyron, as evidenced by the remains of the Fort du Roc d'Anglars built in the 5th century on a spur overlooking the river a few hundred meters from the fortified village itself. .

A word of advice: sit on the edge of this bridge to eat your ravito and observe the magnificent surroundings!

Very beautiful castle, exterior renovated in 08/2022 a tower under construction, the rest of the village is worth the detour and to stop there in the middle of beautiful countryside.

In the heart of the Aveyron gorges, this picturesque stone bridge served a Gallo-Roman road linking Rodez to Cahors. Preserved natural setting. Hiking trail (GR 62 B). This ancient way allowed the movement of cattle, goods as well as ore extracted from the mines of the region of La Bastide l'Evêque. The bridge, an ambitious urban marker or a modest means of crossing a river or a river, was attached to seigneurial rights. Its defense was frequent and the work was used to charge taxes to travelers and merchants. The castle, of which a few ruins remain, ensured the lookout upstream and downstream of the river. A round tower still visible was in the enclosure of the castle, which occupied the English during the Hundred Years War.

One of the best preserved medieval villages. But in the summer probably completely overcrowded
