History

Belcastel : a tiny medieval village nestling against a hillside.
Below it, at the bottom of a verdant valley, a pretty stone bridge spans the river Aveyron.

It is in this wonderful setting that the Fagegaltier-Rouquier family invites you to enjoy a moment of timeless bliss.

Nicole and Michèle Fagegaltier were born in Belcastel, a tiny village of 60 inhabitants, 25 km from Rodez.

Their parents' and grandparents' hotel-restaurant was renowned for its local cuisine and whitebait. "Our parents and our village together taught us to love genuineness in people and things, to appreciate beauty, and always to look on the sunny side of life".

In 1983, Nicole took over the family restaurant. Michèle joined her a few years later to take charge of dining room and reception.

Nicole shares her great love of cooking with her husband, Bruno Rouquier, and they now run the Restaurant du Vieux Pont together.

In 1994, they opened a seven-room hotel, then a gîte, on the left bank of the river.
