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.

Walk along the banks of the Aveyron and on the hillsides with a botanical trail and another on the maquisards. Pretty views, beech, chestnut and oak forests, moors on the hillsides.
