Lots of corners. If you enjoy cornering, this is the place for you. Everything is fenced in. If you want to see lots of private properties where owners defend every inch of their land, then this is the place for you.

It's possible. However, planning your own route is sometimes advantageous, as cycle paths are not necessarily the shortest or flattest routes.

Perched more than 150 meters above the Lot Valley, the fortified town of Laparade offers a spectacular view from its belvedere and public garden. Founded in 1265 by Alphonse de Poitiers, it preserves traces of its defensive past: ramparts, moats, and ancient fortified gates.

Isolated in the middle of a meadow, the Tombeboeuf oak has watched over the landscapes of the eponymous town for nearly 300 years. Standing 25 meters tall and with its wide corolla-like branches, it impresses with its stature and beauty. Classified as a Remarkable Tree since 2003 and voted Tree of the Year in 2019, it is visible from the road. A must-see for lovers of nature and living heritage.

The community, often referred to as the "Order of the Templars" for short, whose full name is "Poor Knights of Christ and of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem", takes us back to the 13th century. Founded in the Holy Land, it spread surprisingly quickly with numerous branches in many countries in Central Europe. The order gained notoriety through the fact that it was dissolved in 1312 by the French king and the pope and its members were accused of being heretics. The main reason for the dissolution, however, was not the human and religious misconduct (heresy) of the members, which was merely a pretext, but the legendary wealth of this order. King Philip IV of France (1268 to 1314) wanted to use this measure primarily to improve his coffers and secure its treasures.
