Exploring the Ségala on foot: Towards Belcastel
Set in the heart of the Ségala’s rich agricultural landscape, the village of Colombies still boasts beautiful medieval houses, some dating back to the 15th century. This village has retained a certain harmony even in its official buildings, such as the town hall and its porch. Its Romanesque-style church, built in 1880, stands in the centre of a small square near a landscaped fountain.
This walk, marked with yellow signposts, will take you to one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, Belcastel.

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.
