Excellent. The trail is in good condition, but be aware that it climbs steeply and descends sharply in some places.

A great spot with a view, very quiet. A climbing spot also facing southwest, perfect for cycling enthusiasts.

The climb up Cabeou is accessible even with children, and the descent is also passable! The return is on the small, little-used road

Magnificent castles dominating the valleys of Aveyron and Vère from its rocky spur. The village is classified among the most beautiful villages in France.

This stunning hilltop village, with it's old castle literally balanced atop the rock dominates the area and Aveyron river below it. You can take guided visits of the Castle at the top, and the village itself has a few cafes among it's labyrinth of narrow streets.

Classified as a charming village, Penne has retained its authenticity with its narrow streets lined with half-timbered houses and corbels, its old grain measures, its andrones, its mullioned windows and Louis XIII doors.
