This pretty town is one of the "Most Beautiful Villages of France". The city has kept its medieval charm thanks to the doors still visible at the entrances, its church with its flamed bell tower and the colorful facades of the buildings around the town.

Saint-Côme d'Olt

Highlight • Settlement

Saint-Côme d'Olt is on the list of the most beautiful villages in France. This title is well deserved. The medieval heart of the village is superb. It is made up of houses forming a protective circle around its magnificent tort church (with its twisted bell tower) as well as around its castle.

The latter is flanked by two towers. These towers, built around 1366, had a double storey of defense. Its south facade, of the Renaissance type, was unfortunately transformed to serve as a religious boarding school during the 19th century.

Saint Cosmas and Saint Damian Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Entering St-Côme-d'Olt through one of the three city gates, you will find yourself in another world: narrow streets, small squares, old residences and houses from the 15th and 16th centuries characterize the late medieval village that has been in existence since Nearly 600 years are intact and largely intact. Thus, she was awarded the label "Les plus beaux Villages de France" (the most beautiful villages in France).

Diver Statue and Musée du Scaphandre, Espalion

Highlight • Monument

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.
