History/Museums

Home to more “Plus beaux villages de France” (listed villages) than any other department, the Aveyron is an area steeped in history. The world heritage sites of Conques and Albi, the Knights Templar stronghold at La Couvertoirade and of course the many Bastides (medieval “new towns”) provide a rich architectural heritage and all are within easy reach of Les Chataigniers.
