Alzou (rivière) - Affluent de l'Aveyron walks

An easy family route along the banks of the Aveyron and the hills above Villefranche-de-Rouergue, where you’ll discover charming mills and a beautiful view of the town.

Facing south, the vines of the ‘fer servadou’ variety – known locally as ‘mansois’ and elsewhere as ‘braucol’ – are producing the next vintage of Marcillac. The vineyard was awarded AOC status in 1990.

This walking route takes you to the locations chosen by Georges Rouquier for the filming of the films *Farrebique* and *Biquefarre*, released in 1946 and 1983 respectively. Made thirty-eight years apart, these two films were shot in the same location and featured the same non-professional actors playing themselves. *Farrebique*, filmed from November 1943 to November 1945, and *Biquefarre*, from autumn 1982 to May 1983, depict the daily life of Georges Rouquier’s family, who lived in the village of Goutrens. As you move from one filming location to another, you’ll have the chance to observe the surroundings and the framing of the scenes for yourself… This will give you a better understanding of how this great filmmaker worked and, above all, when you watch his films for the first or second time, you’ll see each scene in a different light.
