Monuments to visit Midi-Pyrénées

It is at the time of the foundation of the city around 1074 that a fortification seems to have been built which was replaced by the castle, a more important building ensuring a better protection of the 3 000 inhabitants. The date of construction is between 1268 and 1285. The creation of La Cuisine, a design centre, has made it possible to enhance its value. Today's castle is the result of many transformations, destructions and metamorphoses that have followed the thread of history

From the port of Moissac, take the right bank towpath along the canal to the Cacor bridge-canal, where the Garonne canal forks and crosses the Tarn on the 15 arches of a majestic structure made of Quercy stone and Toulouse brick, a symbolic link between Quercy and Gascony. It was also used after the flood of 1930 for the railroad. At that time, barges and locomotives crossed the bridge. Nowadays, cyclists and walkers cross the water skiers below on the Tarn. A bridge to cross absolutely during your stay.

It is located on a side staircase located in the turret of the special hotel La Scipione, it serves both floors and round road. The masonry is an exceptional point of view on the village and the plains of Du. You can't go full circle. Behind the ramparts, a lavogne - cobbled mare used as water to the sheep - in perfect conservation condition is visible.
