Circuit cyclo dans le vallon de Marcillac

In the Middle Ages, the monks of Conques worked to develop the vine. In the villages, vine-growing can be seen on house lintels, crosses, "cabanons" and beautiful estates with manor houses. After the phylloxera invasion of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the great frosts of 1956, only a few plots remained for family consumption. Since 1960, courageous and enterprising winegrowers have revived this vineyard in many parts of the Vallon. Marcillac wine, classified AOC since 1990, goes well with local dishes (farçous, tripous, Aveyron veal)
