Cyclotourisme : Circuit de Sévérac-le-château
The mound of Séverac offers a remarkable panorama of the high valley of the Aveyron. Hooded by a 12th and 14th century castle, the medieval town houses beautiful residences with stair towers, half-timbering and corbels.
This circuit leads you to the church of Lapanouse with its beautiful Romanesque chevet and then to the Palassy pass which leads to the valley of the Olip bordered by the charming village of Saint-Grégoire famous for its flowery setting and its 20 meter high bell tower. Arriving at Recoules-Prévinquières, you leave along a picturesque road for the Lévezou mountains. On the plateau, a breathtaking view allows you to admire the mountains of Aubrac and Cantal on the horizon. You then go back to the Aveyron valley to reach Séverac-l'Eglise and admire the pretty combed bell tower of Palmas. Your journey continues in the valley of the Serre. The village of Coussergues is distinguished by its traditional houses. From the fortified village of Vimenet, you wind your way through the Cuge valley (Esparces fountain with picnic area on the edge) to arrive at the Galitorte dolmen near Buzeins built at the foot of an ancient volcano (house and dolmen circuit). Back to Séverac, don't miss the fountain of Tantayrou and the superb view of the castle of Loupiac with its 4 round towers (15th century).
