Calmont walks

A walk to enjoy on your own or with the family. Lots of tree-lined paths, some of which are narrow. Starting from the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Ceignac, the route follows small streams before becoming circular and returning to the start, passing in front of the oratory.

Partly forest walk down into the Nauze and Viaur valley where the Versailles site is located: a little paradise by the stream, ideal for a picnic, a spot of fishing or simply a break.

This is the land of white water and a thousand springs that feed numerous streams and small lakes further downstream. A short detour at the town’s main crossroads allows you to see three spires: since 1997, they have stood at the centre of the crossroads where Baraqueville was founded, clearly marking the place the town intends to retain at the heart of the Ségala, that of the main hub for events and interaction. The three spikes symbolise the Ségala’s past and give way between them to the three roads of the crossroads, which, when viewed from above, form the spokes of a turning wheel.

Nestled in the Céor valley, a true paradise for fishermen, the village of Salmiech enjoyed a successful revival during the Salt Road era.

Gathered around its church, Gramond is a village rich in history. The valley is wild along the Lézert with a view of Boussac that will amaze you.

Short, shaded walk along the Monastery section of the Briane and heath. Then, walk through Combelles Park with its horses and activities. On leaving, a path will take you to a limestone plateau and finally, the last part towards Istournet and its small lake will guide you to the Banocres plateau, which offers superb views of Rodez and the Aubrac.

A lovely walk from the charming village of Moyrazes, which overlooks the Aveyron valley and its magnificent panoramic views.

The city of Rodez, former capital of Rouergue, perched on its "piton" (peak), is undoubtedly worth a more in-depth visit. However, during a stopover, this walk allows you to discover some of the historic centre's most iconic buildings. You can also add on a visit to the Soulages Museum.

A route in nature, yet very close to Rodez. You can admire three castles and old houses along the route.

Hike located at the confluence of three valleys and between two picturesque villages, Saint-Just and Castelpers. Castelpers is an ancient fortified site mentioned in the Book of Miracles of Sainte-Foy de Conques. It has become a very popular destination. All that remains of this former seigneury and barony belonging to the Castelpers family (13th to 17th century) is the pre-Romanesque chapel known as Notre-Dame du Roc. This small sanctuary overlooks the Giffou gorges from a height of 150 metres and houses a statue of the Virgin Mary crushing three black snakes. The Chapel of Saint-Jean de Castelpers (2 km away), nestled in the middle of the woods, was originally a small abbey that became a flourishing priory until the end of the Crusades.

A walk on the border between Ségala and Lévézou, passing through the beautiful Lagast forest and up to the summit of Lagast.

The Peyrebrune Tower is accessible on foot or by car from several villages. Pilgrimages take place regularly from these different starting points. Here, the departure point is from the village of Alrance.

This hike is accessible to all (with some difficulty accessing the Roc d'Anglars fort) and is partly shaded. Information for December 2025: the footbridge is currently under construction and therefore the hike is inaccessible.

This very short hike is accessible to all and can be done with a pushchair. You will walk along Belcastel to the footbridge and return to the village via a shaded path. Information for December 2025: the footbridge is currently under construction and therefore the hike is inaccessible.

A tour around the valley of one of the most beautiful villages in France, Belcastel, with several viewpoints over its castle, its old bridge and the village below. You will also pass by the Fort du Roc d'Anglars, and on the way down via the Way of the Cross, you will discover the Lourdou cave with its Virgin Mary.
