For lovers of the 'old stones' it would take months to go around, between the traditional villages (Espalion is located between two 'most beautiful villages in France', Saint - Côme D'olt and Estaing'), Rouergue has retained a number amazing castles and fortifications of the middle ages, very close we Flaujac (a village of 15th century fort), the Château de Calmont which dominates the town and is a place of archaeological research where we discover the evolution of the fortifications and weapons between the 11th and the 15th century, the barns or agricultural areas dependent on the abbeys: the Domerie D'aubrac, Cistercian Bonneval Abbey, the Abbey of Bonnecombe, Sylvanès Abbey. An incredible number of castles and manor houses many have always inhabited without any major modifications.
The province of Rouergue Aveyron Department virtually resumed the contours, suffered the 100 years war and especially after the end of hostilities, looting by demobilized mercenary, she was also devastated at the time of the wars of religion, prompting to fortify castles but also villages, raising the nave of some churches to make shelters and watchtowersagricultural areas with the construction of towers, refuge and grain silo. Since these periods however Aveyron remained away from the major fields of battles, these buildings could be preserved and have not been put to the taste of the day due to lack of financial means. This thinking also explains why we have kept our old and often Romanesque churches. The walkers of the way of Saint James discover with astonishment and pleasure: Aubrac, Saint-Chély D'aubrac, Saint-Côme D'olt, the chapel of Persia in Espalion, Saint Pierre Bessuéjouls, Estaing, the list is long of discoveries before arriving at the Abbey Church of Conquet. Elsewhere this portion of the Camino de Santiago has been classified in the world heritage of Unesco for the quality of its landscapes, its hollow paths of its churches but also its bridges former. For the bridges we could resume the previous list, Espalion is very proud of its old bridge of red sandstone.
