2. Brousse le Château: the towers of a medieval castle dominate the village of Brousse to which it gave its name. An old gothic bridge spans the Alrance to lead to the paved streets and the 15th century fortified church
3. Waterfall of Baumes: one of the sublime waterfalls of the village of Saint Rome de Tarn. It falls from a height of 18 metres into the emerald waters of the river Tarn
4. La Couvertoirade: this village tells several stories: that of the Templars who built the castle, that of the Hospitallers who built the ramparts and then that of the economic apogee with superb residences of the 16th and 17th centuries
