Tips from the Community
From this point, Broquiès reveals itself on the slopes overlooking the Tarn. This location is not accidental: by moving away from the valley floor, the inhabitants protected themselves from floods while remaining close to the river, which for centuries was a transport route and a driving force of local life.

A favorite from this bike ride: Brousse-le-Château. A perfectly preserved medieval village, nestled on the banks of the Tarn. Between heritage, tranquility, and beautiful panoramas, it's the kind of place that reminds us why we love to travel by bike.
