The oldest part of the village (around 1000yo) is located in a deep valley. You can visit the remaining towers of the castle (roc del thaluc), the Roman bridge “Parayre”, an hospital build in 1200… Very beautiful place.

Looks like something from the Witcher 3 game.
I look at these old buildings and they always amaze me. Whilst they’re crumbling now, for hundreds of years, or at least for generations, people in the area would’ve interacted with one another in these places. They’d have made friends and enemies, cared for one another, agreed business deals and gotten drunk together……those people’s names are now lost to time and the buildings themselves are going back to the earth.
What an amazing place Peyrusse-le-roc, Aveyron, France is! It’s incredible to think that the oldest part of the village is over 1000 years old and you can still visit the remaining towers of the castle and the Roman bridge. It’s a reminder that for hundreds of years, people used to live and interact in these places, and although their names may be lost to time, the buildings still remain. It’s a truly awe-inspiring sight!
Nice views, I really enjoy it
Why was it abandoned back then?
