Gathering in Curan
On the Lévézou high plateau

😀 Gathering between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

A land of livestock farming, cultivation, and crafts, the commune of Curan rises to an altitude of 1,062 meters. Located in the heart of the Aveyron department, it is surrounded by lush green landscapes with shimmering colors, high points, wooded areas, peat bogs, and numerous waterways. A peaceful place and superb landscapes to discover this summer with the Discovery Hiking Route. Bordering the Grands Causses Regional Natural Park, it is bordered by Lake Pareloup and the Lévézou Mountains.

Curan now has 302 residents year-round.
Watered by the Vioulou River and its tributaries, the Connes Stream, Les Douzes Stream, the Bédettes Stream, the Martials Stream, the Gagettes Stream, and various small streams, many mills are located there.
They no longer operate, but the infrastructure is still visible. These include the Moulin d'Aubignac, the Moulin de Mathieu, and the Moulin de la Resse.

In Curan, you can also visit the Priory of Saint Pierre, a church built in the 15th century (1450). The bell tower as it appears today was erected between 1772 and 1776.

Located in the highlands of Aveyron, the Lévézou region is a landscape entity in its own right. A vast collection of high plateaus with rolling hills.
A bucolic charm that lets us dream during a ride between wild and cultivated landscapes. A natural area, ideal for hiking, horseback riding, or mountain biking.
