8의 벨카스텔가지 명소 & 주요 장소

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.

I came there from the plateau from where I took the pictures. Then you will have to go down at the bottom of the valley and climb the peak. To get back down, I used a single track which is not suitable for mountain bikes. I had to walk next to my bike. However it's a very nice place.

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