Small town of character in Montsalvy, located in the heart of the Châtaigneraie Cantalienne, on the foothills of the Lot Valley. It is known for its famous basket festival, which takes place on the last Saturday of July

The Entraygues bridge over the Truyère is a listed historical monument. This 14th century bridge crosses the Truyère, just before it joins the Lot.

This small city is a city of water. It is bordered by no less than four rivers: the Lot, the Truyère, the Goul, and the Selves. As a result of this aspect so particular and so rich, part of its territory has been defined as a Natura 2000 site. Thus the Truyère gorges and the lower Goult valley are home to two species of endangered animals: the European otter and the sculpin.

Large forest, which spreads out from the village of Murols, where eight generations of blacksmiths have succeeded each other! Forest tracks, paths, and beautiful viewpoints over the Goul valley.
