Small steepish hill climb along a wall of massive rock formations millions of years old. Showing the history throughout the earth development with informative signs. Very impressive and interesting

Very pretty road along the Lot. The Lot cycle route passes through there, so whether you like it or not, you have to go there.

Vers is a small village nestled between a cliff and a river, super quiet and full of charm. There's an old mill, a troglodyte castle clinging to the rock, and even an ancient Roman aqueduct carved into the cliff. If you enjoy cycling or walking, the Vers Valley is perfect: shaded, wild, and often secluded from the world.
