Photos taken at the height of the flood! Ideal starting point for bike tours to explore the Lot and Célé rivers in particular. Excellent hotel and restaurant!

In addition to everything that's been said, the road runs alongside magnificent cliffs, and you even pass under the rock several times – it's amazing!!

Vers is a small village nestled between a cliff and a river, super quiet and full of charm. There's an old mill, a troglodyte castle clinging to the rock, and even an ancient Roman aqueduct carved into the cliff. If you enjoy cycling or walking, the Vers Valley is perfect: shaded, wild, and often secluded from the world.
