The Lot valley in Aveyron: a journey between nature and heritage

In northern Aveyron, the Lot valley unrolls its green landscapes between plateaux, forests and cliffs, through a succession of characterful villages: Estaing and its castle overlooking the river, the golden sandstone houses of Saint-Côme-d'Olt, the lanes of Sainte-Eulalie-d'Olt huddled around their Romanesque church.

Between hiking, cycling and canoeing on the calm waters of the Lot, it is a valley to be discovered slowly, far from mass tourism, with aligot and Aubrac cheeses thrown in.
