About :

Rouergue, former province of the South of France corresponding approximately to the current department of Aveyron. It is a journey in the north of the department that we are going to make, in search of the identity, of the soul of Aveyron. From Conques to Bozouls passing by the site of Bourines restored by volunteers in love with their country and the livestock market of Laissac (the second in France), we are going to discover landscapes and men who have one thing in common: a strength of character! Conques appears in its green setting, "like a revelation". The superb medieval village and its abbey with its splendid tympanum remains one of the most important centers of art and spirituality in the West. The history of Conques is as rich as its heritage...we discover it in the company of Marie Renoue, art historian. In the middle of cultivated fields and pastures, an apparition, yet another one! You would think you were looking at a castle, with its ramparts, its moats, its fortifications, so imposing is the building in the center of the outbuildings. It is in fact a fortified wheat granary. In the Middle Ages, the Bourines estate was one of the largest estates in central France. Didier Combret describes the place to us and tells us this story which perfectly illustrates the importance of agricultural activity in this territory. Every Tuesday from 6am, the Laissac market offers a most surprising "spectacle". This market has its codes, impossible to decipher without being accompanied by an expert like Antoine Lantuejoul, a former buyer who knows all the tricks, knows how to give meaning to a look, an attitude. Laissac is probably the ideal place to try to capture a little of the Aveyron soul... To finish, we explore with Nicolas Cayssiols, naturalist, a natural cirque, a horseshoe-shaped canyon, dug into the secondary limestones of the Causse Comtal: the Bozouls hole, without a doubt one of the most unusual places in the southwest of France #europeanbestdestination #France_vacations #europe_vacations #capsudouest #aveyron #midipyrénées #occitanie #drone #conques #laissac #lesbourines #bozouls #artroman #scultpure #chemindesaintjacques #compostelle Find all the Cap Sud-Ouest ► http://france3-regions.francetvinfo.f...
