In Villeneuve-d'Aveyron, the imposing city gate of Porte de ville carrée offers a glimpse into the Middle Ages. Sitting proudly atop Sol de la Dîme park, the strategic position of Villeneuve on the Causse is evident. Across the Boulevard, the rooftops of houses with double-sloped tiles create a peaceful image, symbolizing community. However, the tower of Porte de ville carrée paints a different picture, harking back to the violent battles of the Middle Ages. This grandeur makes it the perfect setting for the upcoming 30th edition of the Medieval Festival, scheduled on July 17, 18, and 19. A new attraction, 'La Soubirane', is set to open soon, offering a dining and lounge experience in the heart of Villeneuve-d'Aveyron. 'La Soubirane' aims to echo the iconic landmark of the town, Porte de ville carrée, while also presenting a modern and accessible space for all.
