Diver Statue and Musée du Scaphandre, Espalion

Highlight • Monument

Located on the edge of the river, this village offers a rather unexpected discovery. The village is located more than 200 kilometers from the nearest coast, but it is here that the famous Rouquayrol & Denayrouze regulator was designed, at the origin of the regulator which now equips all divers in the world.

The diving suit museum is located in the Saint Jean-Baptiste church. With its red stone façade in the neo-Gothic style, a visit to this atypical museum is a must. A statue of a diver who sometimes has his feet in the water, depending on the flooding of the river, is nearby.

Greenway Bertholène - Bozouls - Espalion

Highlight • Other

The railway line, a good twenty kilometers long, is a very well maintained greenway, from Bertholene to Espalion via Bozouls. The second part is the most beautiful, you still have to be careful of the tunnel (especially the first of 700m) which are not lit and which can suddenly be dangerous without light.

Espalion

Highlight • Settlement

Espalion is a slightly larger town in the Lot Valley. If you are traveling on the GR-65, you could also take a rest day here, for example to visit the Calmont d'Olt castle ruins. This castle dominates the silhouette of Espalion.
In Espalion there are still old tanner houses and a Gothic bridge from the 13th and 14th centuries, the Vieux Point.
It is an unforgettable experience when you approach this city after a long day's hike on the GR-65 and can enjoy this original cityscape.
