Sauveterre de Rouergue : the architecture and urban development of the Middle Ages

Today, Sauveterre de Rouergue, the royal bastide, is a must for anyone interested in the architecture and urban development of the Middle Ages. Nearby, four other bastides are worth a visit : Najac, Villefranche-de-Rouergue, Villeneuve d'Aveyron and La Bastide L'Evêque. In summer, during a romantic weekend getaway or at any time of year, you can plan an itinerary in the Aveyron based on these 13th century towns. Don't forget to visit the cutlery works, L'Atelier de Sauveterre, which has forged a link with the area's prestigious past.
