Nasbinals

Highlight • Settlement

Nasbinals is a beautiful village where all the houses are built of granite in the Aubrac style, and covered with large slates. The village has good infrastructure - with a pharmacy, a large food market, hostels, two hotels and a good restaurant. You can even buy hiking shoes there.

Here in the village, the traditional transhumance festival takes place every year in May, when the cows are then decorated with flowers and bells to go to pasture, as in the past.

This Romanesque church was founded in the 11th century, but was not completed until the 13th century. It is a lovely medieval church with well-balanced proportions. The bell tower is octagonal and integrated in the nave. The church is made of basalt stones that can be found everywhere in the Aubrac region. The roof is covered with slate.

Saint Urcize

Highlight • Settlement

The village counts for its attractions among the "Small Cities of Character". The ubiquitous granite frame blends wonderfully with the natural setting of the Aubrac high plateau which hosts it.

Saint-Urcize stands at an altitude of 1,000 meters on basalt rock overlooking the Hère and Bès valleys, on the Aubrac plateau. The old houses, the narrow streets, the small squares with fountains, the remains of fortifications and the ruins of the old fort give the city its medieval character and attest to its very ancient origins.

The gray slate and schist roofs blend with the remarkable 12th century Romanesque church whose combed bell tower dominates the town. Its small bell dating from 1583 is said to be one of the oldest in France, and its ambulatory guarantees that the city was a stage in the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in the Middle Ages.
