Circuit touristique en camping-car "Les bastides du Rouergue"
200 km and 3 days of itinerary await you to discover our bastides with their strong character and some of France's most beautiful villages!
From Rodez, take the N88 to Sauveterre-de-Rouergue, a superb Aveyron bastide where half-timbered houses and vaulted arcades mingle around the central square. The first stop is Camjac. Here you'll find the Château du Bosc, Toulouse-Lautrec's childhood home.
On the way up to Rignac, turn off at Belcastel. A must-see, this listed village is touching not only for its geographical location, but above all for its aesthetic qualities. If you're a lover of old stones, you'll need to continue on to Peyrusse-le-Roc on the D87. Stop at the ideally-situated service area and take the footpath to discover the remains of this ancient medieval hilltop town. Continue on towards Villefranche-de-Rouergue. Here, you'll discover a lively market town adjacent to a magnificent collegiate church and not far from a mystical Carthusian monastery. Along the way, you'll come across two picturesque villages, La Bastide-l'Evêque with its squat bell tower, and Monteils.
To round off this tour of bastides in style, head for Najac. This splendid fortress on a rocky spur will make you dizzy. Overlooking the Aveyron and its gorges, you can wander through its long, narrow streets, discovering the many shops and stone-built houses, but above all, don't miss the fouaces de Najac!
