Carladez has been given the ‘bike tourist town’ label by the French Cycling Tour Federation (FFCT)

90km from Rodez and 50km from Aurillac, Carladez is a plateau rising to 800m altitude above the Truyère gorges, and contains six ‘communes’ populated by 3140 inhabitants who love their home and would love you to visit.
Carladez is wonderfully suited to cycling tours, offering well-kept and often empty roads taking you through exceptional landscapes and the area’s rich heritage: the Truyère gorges, lakes and dams, the Laussac peninsula, the Château de Valon, the ‘fantasy walk’ trails, the Aubrac plateau, the Monts du Cantal, the Lot valley and a variant out to Conques.
