Découverte de la vieille ville d'Espalion
In the heart of the Lot Valley, Espalion has developed on both banks of the Lot in the centre of a valley dominated by the Aubrac mountains to the north and the Causse plateaux to the south.
Discover our once-fortified town, nestled at the foot of the imposing Château Fort of the Lords of Calmont. Its old houses bathed in the waters of the river, between the Vieux Palais and the Pont-Vieux, with the Alayrac bell tower looming on the horizon, form the emblematic image of the town.
You'll also appreciate the old tanneries between the two bridges and up to the causeway, a vestige of the seigniorial mill, the St-Jean-Baptiste church now home to the Arts et Traditions Populaires and Scaphandre museums, the parish church with its two towers, the chapel of the white penitents... and a little further away, don't miss a visit to the Romanesque church of Perse.
Guided tours organized in July and August.
