In the morning, we had a tour of the town of Villefranche le Rouergue, ending with a visit to the Carthusian monastery. Along the Aveyron River, we reached the town of Monteils. And since it was no longer possible to continue along the river, we had to climb up to a ridge, from which we descended back down to the Aveyron right below Najac Castle. There was still a bit of uphill to reach the castle, but we were rewarded not only with a beautiful castle but also with a flea market (in terms of content, not size). We saw two beautiful dovecotes in Le Riols and had a coffee in Saint Antonin Noble Val. We finished the journey again on the main, gently descending road along the Aveyron until the campsite below Bruniquel Castle.
