Rieupeyroux, Summit and viewpoint in Rieupeyroux, France
The summit stands at 720 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views across the Ségala region of Aveyron department in southern France.
The location has served as a strategic observation point since 1030, when Benedictine monks from Saint-Martial de Limoges established the first settlement in the area.
The summit provides views of the medieval urban layout with its church Saint-Martial, traditional timber-framed houses, and the historical Griffoul fountain below.
Visitors can access the viewpoint through marked hiking trails that connect to the town center, with parking available near the Agricultural Traditions Museum.
The elevation point allows observers to see the precise orthogonal street pattern of Rieupeyroux, revealing the planned medieval design of this French commune.
