Belcastel (“war castle”, from the Latin bellum and castellum) is a magnificent medieval village built on the banks of the Aveyron under an imposing castle.

Belcastel, as its name suggests, was a strategic point on the Aveyron, as evidenced by the remains of the Fort du Roc d'Anglars built in the 5th century on a spur overlooking the river a few hundred meters from the fortified village itself. .

A word of advice: sit on the edge of this bridge to eat your ravito and observe the magnificent surroundings!

Known to be one of the most beautiful villages in France, Belcastel lives up to its name. Take the opportunity to stop and stroll through the alleys between the buildings, each prettier than the next.

Very beautiful little village in the hollow of a valley. The access is very easy but the exit a little more difficult but the climb remains very pleasant.

A very nice campgroung with mushrooms on the pitch!!! But unfortunately, not enough to cook them. However, the owners of this campground are very nice and make very good meals, also for vegetarians. You have full access to the municipal swimming pool, and I enjoyed being able to swim after a day on my mountain bike.
