Ouysse Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This perfect location is ideal for mountain biking and sightseeing. The bridge itself is in ruins, but it once spanned the peaceful Ouysse River. Right next to the bridge, you’ll find a charming Michelin-starred restaurant, Le Pont de l’Ouysse, known for its local gourmet cuisine and panoramic views of the river. The old stone bridge adds a rustic touch to the scenery, and the surrounding trails range from gentle paths along the river to more technical and rocky tracks, perfect for beginners and seasoned mountain bikers alike.

Cougnaguet Fortified Mill

Highlight • Other

Old mill that worked from 1340 to 1959 and still works. Will be demonstrated during visits. Absolute must! However, the old miller speaks with a rather slanted accent, so that one should speak French very well if one wants to understand everything. At the end you get offered a walnut liqueur and fresh walnuts. Absolute highlight.

Beneath the rock face facing Rocamadour

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

This section of steep road is exceptional. The view of the city of Rocamadour is breathtaking. The road, lined with low walls, winds under the rocky wall of the Alzou canyon.

Rocamadour

Highlight • Settlement

Rocamadour is a small cliffside village in south-central France. It is known for its Religious City, a complex of religious buildings accessible by the grand staircase. Among these buildings are the Notre-Dame chapel, with its statue of the Black Madonna, and the Saint-Sauveur basilica, of Romanesque-Gothic architecture. The Monkey Forest, a park where macaques live freely, is located in the northeast. The Rocher des Aigles ornithological park is located to the west.
