The Aveyron valley

3 valleys, 3 rivers, and 3 times the chance of exploring villages with unique architecture, breathtaking landscapes and monuments, and traditional yet innovative gourmet cooking ... the quintessential South-West!

alt

From Séverac-le-Château where it rises, the Aveyron valley offers 250 km of breathtaking excursions. The charming village of Belcastel and its castle, Rodez and its cathedral overlooking the city, Villefranche-de-Rouergue and Najac, the famous fortified towns of the Rouergue, are just some of the places that shouldn’t be missed. What’s more, this is where the waters of the Aveyron start to get rougher, making it the perfect playground for whitewater sports fans.

Not to be missed in the Aveyron Valley


The Château de Séverac - Find out more

alt

The château was built in the 13th and 18th centuries. It has ramparts, towers and a magnificent Renaissance façade. Join in the presentations on medieval cooking (including tasting) in the castle kitchen and on the age of the troubadours (presentation and demonstration of instruments).

 


Rodez - Find out more

alt

From a visit to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, to the Fenaille Museum, via the National Stud and the historic centre: as you stroll through its streets, going where your fancy leads you, lots of surprises await you in the capital of Aveyron.

 

 

Belcastel - Find out more

alt

This little Aveyron market town has a surprising history which has done much for its fame and reputation. Great prosperity, war and downfall, abandonment and ruin… and then a remarkable renaissance, all of which make today it into a place that should not be missed when visiting the area.

 

Villefranche de Rouergue - Find out more

alt

Even though it is not the only bastide founded by Alphonse de Poitiers, the brother of Saint Louis, Villefranche-de-Rouergue boasts of its prestige in a typically meridional way and lets it be known that it has a tale to tell that is way out of the ordinary.

 


Najac - Find out more

alt

A few kilometres from Villefranche-de-Rouergue, in the magnificent Gorges of the river Aveyron, Najac has been the crossroads of the Rouergue from time immemorial. Its surroundings and the wealth of its natural environment make it one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France.
