Najac

Among the settlements of Occitania, Najac stands out for its long medieval street running along a ridge above the Aveyron River. In the Aveyron department, wooded slopes and the river’s bends enclose a compact sequence of stone houses. At the ridge’s western end stands the Château de Najac, a 13th-century royal fortress whose tall keep recalls the strategic importance of this position. Najac belongs to Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, an association recognising small French towns and villages of notable heritage.
