ENTRAYGUES SUR TRUYÈRE, IN THE LAND OF THE LOT

Entraygues sur Truyère is a village with character, nestling between the Lot and Truyère rivers, with its medieval remains, old streets and alleyways, half-timbered houses from the 15th and 17th centuries, its castle and 13th century bridges.

A little history…

Entraygues sur Truyère is situated at the confluence of two rivers, “between the waters”, as its name suggests in Occitan. Two bridges cross the two rivers that give the town its name: the Pont de la Truyère (late 13th century) and the Pont de Notre-Dame over the Lot.

They were used to transport wine, rye and cheese to Cahors and to bring up cod from Bordeaux by barge, giving rise to the estofinado.

As a result, the village has preserved its narrow medieval streets, covered passages, cantous, 15th and 17th century houses and the chapel of Notre-Dame-du-Pontet.

Entraygues sur Truyère was visited by Louis XI, who stopped there before fighting the Count of Armagnac.

The town was founded in the middle of the 13th century at the same time as the castle built by Henri II, Count of Rodez, between 1278 and 1290.

Entraygues sur Truyère was fortified in 1357. All that remains today are two square towers with machicolations of the 213 towers connected by ramparts and surrounded by moats, and a main building restored in the 17th century.

At that time, Entraygues was a strategic point at the crossroads of the Auvergne and Lot valleys.

For most of the year, the waters of the Lot, swollen by the Truyère, allowed trade with other countries open to the Lot valley…
