It is when you get lost, in the middle of the lanes, the countryside and the green fields, that you make the most beautiful encounters: the old covered market halls and pigeon houses tell you the history of a whole country. In the Causses and Gorges de l'Aveyron, at the end of the paths, exploring the valleys, you will find real treasures which have the charm of a heritage that can be discovered off the beaten track.
At Cazals, you will find astonishing interlocking dolmens, and further on, overlooking the Bonnette valley, Notre-Dame des Grâces and the old Templar commandery at Lacapelle-Livron. At the bend in the road, you will find the Varen castle and its Romanesque chapel, not forgetting the Bosc cave which opens a passageway into the bowels of the Causse.
The churches of our territory
Full of charm
At Notre-Dame des Graces, enjoy the view. At Notre-Dame de Livron, the atmosphere of the sanctuary, the magnificence of Saint-Pierre à Varen and the wild little detours at Puech Mignon, Notre Dame de Lugan, the church at Féneyrols and Saint-Symphorien.
Our halls
Places of life, of reunion but also of trade!
The one in Caylus was used as a model for many of the region's covered market halls, and its grain measuring scales have been preserved. The covered market hall in Lacapelle-Livron still has its 16th-century roof structure and a beautiful lauze roof. The one in Saint-Antonin is the centre of the market, which has a long-standing reputation.
