Photographer's Note

In the Aveyron département but on the banks of the Lot, Saint-Côme-d’Olt was built behind the ditches of the old fortified town. The flamboyant gothic style church with its crooked spire, the Penitents’ Chapel and the Manor of the Sires of Calmont dating from the 12C stand alongside the old medieval stalls and the fine 15C and 16C houses to make a delightful combination.

Saint-Côme d’Olt nestles in a hollow in the Lot valley. Its almost circular tour de ville (circular street surrounding the village centre) and its ramparts, that have become the façades of the houses, give Saint-Côme d’Olt an exceptional appearance.
