Capdenac
Capdenac-le-Haut
Member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France
Capdenac's old village stands on a ridge that forces the Lot into a great meander, about a hundred metres above the river, which is why locals call it Capdenac-le-Haut. Below and across the water lies Capdenac-Gare, its twin in Aveyron. People have lived on the site since prehistoric times, and it was once thought to be Uxellodunum, the Gaulish town besieged by Julius Caesar, a theory since rejected.
Highlights
- Views from the ridge over the Lot meander
- The view down to Capdenac-Gare across the river
