A favorite from this bike ride: Brousse-le-Château. A perfectly preserved medieval village, nestled on the banks of the Tarn. Between heritage, tranquility, and beautiful panoramas, it's the kind of place that reminds us why we love to travel by bike.

From the Lincou bridge, the view of the Tarn which meanders through this part of the valley is superb.

Magnificent village classified among "The Most Beautiful Villages of France". The site, at the confluence of the Tarn and the Alrance, has been occupied since the Neolithic (presence of a statue-menhir) and the geology of the place has often led to the creation of a fortified village with a castle dating from the IXth century.
