    • The Cordes-sur-Ciel tourist shuttle, an unmissable visit to one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France in the Tarn

      Before exploring the charming, steep, cobbled streets of this sublime medieval town, take a unique ride on a tourist shuttle to ascend or descend this perched village nestled in the rock. Available from April to November (schedule and days vary depending on the season), it offers an unusual perspective on the history of Cordes-sur-Ciel throughout the day. Let's go!


      The Cordes-sur-Ciel tourist shuttle: a fun and cultural excursion for young and old.

      Immerse yourself in the heart of this medieval gem with an unforgettable shuttle ride in Cordes-sur-Ciel! Whether with family, your partner, friends, or colleagues, the 10-minute narrated tour (20 minutes for a round trip) is always a popular way to discover the richness of this village of art and history and its many secrets. The starting point is already a discovery in itself, located on the Place de la Bouteillerie, where a friendly and colorful market takes place every Saturday morning. The arrival point at the Porte de la Jane, at the top of the village, offers a breathtaking view. From the Maison du Grand Fauconnier (House of the Grand Falconer), the Maison du Grand Écuyer (House of the Grand Squire), the Maison du Grand Veneur (House of the Grand Huntsman), and the Maison Prunet, keep your eyes peeled to discover the town's authentic architecture and spot the tourist sites worth visiting on your return walk. Several options are available:

      • Round trip by tourist shuttle.
      • One way from Place de la Bouteillerie at the bottom of the village to walk back down to Cordes-sur-Ciel.
      • One-way trip departing from Porte Jane once the ascent has been completed on foot.

      Don't forget your camera to capture unusual images of this jewel carved in stone perched above the Cérou Valley.

    Not only did the driver of the little train wait until we had paid the parking meter before leaving, but this honorable gentleman also came to the local café to ask if anyone had left a backpack (mine) on the same train. Needless to say, I warmly thank this gentleman for his dedication and honesty! Thank you again!

    This is a great way to explore the medieval city without having to face the climb, which can be steep for older people. The journey is pleasant, with beautiful views of the village and the surrounding landscapes. The commentary provides interesting information and helps you better understand the history of the place.
