A fortified castle on the Route des Seigneurs du Rouergue in Aveyron, overlooking its medieval village, classified as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France. Standing proud with its towers and fortified walls, the castle dominates the Tarn Valley, between Albi and Millau.

The Tarn valley is steep enough that leaving it involves a nice climb, 5 to 6 km with passages at 10%. And multiple routes around Ambialet.

As you come down the D74 road and around the last corner before entering town, you get a splendid view of the village of Ambialet and the old hilltop Cathar fortress. Both look as if they have naturally emerged from the local rock-bed over the past few centuries. There is one restaurant and two cafes in town as well as a cafe and small hotel just over the bridge on the other side of town.

Pretty little perched village which is part of the association Les Plus Beaux Villages de France. Since 1960 the castle and the houses of the village have been restored.
