The Pont de Thuriès is a 13th Century bridge over the Viaur river that opened up trade between the Rouergue and the Albigeois regions. There is a picnic area nearby and you can also swim in the river.

The Notre-Dame-de-Lasplanques church, once surrounded by a small hamlet, dates back to the 11th century. Its lost location in the Viaur valley and its defensive architecture allowed the population to take refuge there in the event of an attack, in particular from trucking companies (looter soldiers and mercenaries of the Middle Ages).

Meander on the Viaur having eroded a formidable rocky outcrop ideal for the establishment of a castle from the 13th century on the road leading from Toulouse to Lyon. Much later, the site took on an economic interest with the creation of a dam of more than 30 meters between 1919 and 1923.
