Several villages like Fontanges, Le Fau and La Bastide are
tucked away in the vallée de l’Aspre G5 (Aspre valley), which
is quite wild and unknown, leading to the Bois Noirs (Black
Woods). For the lovers of geology, this valley has several py-

plateaus and valleys and the villages of Saint-Bonnet-de-
Salers and Anglards-de-Salers. With the Monzola and Sionne
affluents, its course is stopped by a volcanic rock fall with
a drop of 30 metres (Salins waterfall) and then continues
to the West, to the impenetrable wild and woody gorges.
Brageac overlooks the river from its rocky outcrop. This river
flows across forests (in particular the Miers forest), to finish
its 44km course in the Dordogne river near the Eagle dam.

dam built on the Maronne River. Its waters snake through the
villages of Pleaux, Arnac and Saint-Christophe-les-Gorges. Built
after the Second World War, the work began in 1946 and the
dam was operational in 1950. Its shape is a type of “sloped

Its reservoir has a capacity of 92,7 m³. With its flooding, two
villages disappeared: L’Espont and Rodomont – Bas. During a
short walk (2h - 6km) you will admire the Maronne gorge and
several views of the reservoir lake.

Beautiful Villages in France, its name comes from a famous
family Tournemire. The knight Rigaud de Tournemire is
mentioned in a settlement dated from 1030. His brother,
Pierre, a knight, participated in the Crusade of 1095 and
preached in Clermont-Ferrand. Legend has it that when he
came back from the Holy Land, he brought a thorn from
Christ’s crown. Venerated as a miraculous object it is said that
