Chemin de Raix

Highlight • Trail

Rather short, complex gravel path: dismount to spare or step on the pedals for the more experienced. The descent at the end of the path is a great reward.

Highlight • Settlement

One of the largest medieval bastides in France, in the heart of Aveyron. Place Notre-Dame, surrounded by arcades surmounted by impressive Gothic-style houses, is cited as one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. Every Thursday morning, one of the most beautiful markets in the southwest is held there, not to be missed!
