Deux charmants villages de l’Aveyron que nous avons malheureusement visités sous la pluie et entourés de brume. Le beau temps des 10 premiers jours nous a quitté et nous terminerons ce voyage sous la pluie et le temps maussade.
Two charming villages of Aveyron that we unfortunately visited in the rain and surrounded by fog. The good weather of the first 10 days has left us and we will end this trip in the rain and gloomy weather.
Bozouls: Ce fut notre premier arrêt de la journée et, malgré la pluie, nous avons pu admirer le Trou de Bozouls, un canyon de 400m de diamètre et profond de plus de 100m. Une des attractions principales est une chapelle romane que nous n’avons pu visité car le pont qui permettait de s’y rendre en voiture était en réparation et il pleuvait un peu trop pour que nous décidions d’y aller à pied. / This was the first stop of the day and, despite the rain, we we were able to admire the Trou de Bozouls, a canyon 400m in diameter and more than 100m deep. One of the main attractions is a Romanesque chapel that we couldn’t visit because the bridge to access it by car was under repair and it was raining a little too much for us to decide to go there on foot.
Sévérac-le-Château: Après avoir visité Rodez, nous avons fait un arrêt à Sévérac-le-Château. Encore une fois, la pluie nous a suivi mais il y a eu quelques accalmies qui nous ont permis de silloner les rues de ce petit bourg médiéval. Un autre village où il n’y avait pas beaucoup d’animation en ce dimanche après-midi pluvieux. / After visiting Rodez, we made a stop at Sévérac-le-Château. Once again, the rain followed us but there were some lulls that allowed us to walk the streets of this small medieval village. Another village where there wasn’t much happening on that rainy Sunday afternoon.

Les voyages de Suzanne & Pierre 
Love the old French architecture – a great tour thank you
Thanks Diana. Glad you enjoyed this virtual tour.
There’s something about the lighting on rainy days that makes the colours different. I am sure you would have preferred sunshine but I like the lighting.
Thanks Jacqui. You are right on both count. It is always easier to visit when the weather is nicer but the rain and fog do add something to the images… Glad you enjoyed this new series
Très belles photos malgré la pluie et une très très légère brume. Certaines ont une lumière extra. Et une autre belle découverte pour moi, merci
Merci Marie. Bien contente que ces photos aient su vous plaire. J’admet que la pluie et la brume donnent souvent un petit cachet extra aux photos mais il est certainement plus agréable de visiter quand il fait beau.
They still look very attractive in the rain, and I agree about the lighting. I particularly like the last shot of Bozouls.
Thanks Anabel. Glad you enjoyed this new series.
Too bad about the rain and the fog, Suzanne and Pierre. Not the best weather for walking around perhaps, but it sure produced some gorgeous atmospheric photos!
Thanks Heidi. You are right that rain & fog often is an interesting element when you take pictures but it isn’t much fun to walk around when it rains heavily. But we have to adapt to the weather we were given…
Such a lovely village, beautifully captured!
Thanks for your note. Glad you enjoyed this series.
It feels as if time stopped centuries ago. Beautiful and a little spooky.
Thanks Sherry. That is often the feel of villages in Europe; especially if they are well preserved. It is always fascinating to think that people have walked the same streets hundred of years ago.
I was going to say the exact same thing as Sherry!
I try to imagine what it would be like to live there today. Your photos do a great job of capturing the essence of this place. I particularly love the photo of the narrow rock path leading uphill through the tunnel. It makes me think of a Sherlock Holmes mystery. The only thing missing is thick fog 🙂
Thanks Joanne. Glad you enjoyed this series. As I said to Sherry, it is often the feel one get when walking in well preserved European cities. You can image people hundred years ago. There was fog but probably not as thick as in a Sherlock Holes mystery.
I’m loving these posts of your France trip. I have never seen this area and it is relatively unknown, at least to me. So much medieval charm!
Thanks Eliza. So glad to get you to discover new regions of France. Glad you are enjoying this series of posts. More to come in the coming days.
The shapes, the town upon the cliff, the arches, the doors, so much like Italy, except for the colours. 🙂 Italy seems to have more of them. Beautiful in any case.
Thanks for your note. These two villages were quite interesting despite the rain. You are right that Italy is often more colourful than France but there are similarity between the two countries.
