Colombiès walks

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.

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.

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.

Travel through 1,000 years of history from Rignac to Belcastel, a medieval site that was restored in the 20th century and is now one of the Aveyron's major attractions.

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

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.

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.

During this circuit, you will discover a geological curiosity, the karstic caves of Py and Rouffiès, composed of fairy chimneys. The village is picturesque with its 13th-century church and bell tower surrounded by four pinnacles. The second part of the circuit offers a view of the village and the crossing of the Aveyron on an old bridge, the Pont du Cambon.

At the initiative of a group of residents from the commune of Bournazel, the Tourist Information Office and Bournazel Town Hall have joined forces to carry out a major project to reopen and maintain rural paths, making them accessible for walking. Please respect their work.

Set off on an exciting and enriching walk. Their ecological and heritage value, the result of history and nature, earned these ponds their designation as a Natura 2000 site by the European Union at the very start of the century. Twenty years later, the SMBV2A and Rural Concept are responsible for preserving these environments. Together with the ponds’ owners, managers and users, they help to maintain these fragile ecosystems. Be observant and respectful of the environment – some wonderful surprises may await you.
