Crespin: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
In Crespin, the Maison Jean Boudou is dedicated to the Occitan-language writer Jean Boudou: in his birthplace, an original scenography presents his novels, stories and poems.
Culture and History
The history of the area includes the Pont de Cirou, a medieval bridge over the Viaur. It once formed part of the route between Albi and Rodez. The Pont de Cirou has six round arches and dates from the 14th to the 15th century. The family treasure hunt “La Magie de la pierre” also takes place here.
The tour of the Ostal Joan Bodon takes 1 to 1.5 hours and uses interactive stations, videos, mannequins, photographs, music and sound effects. The Ostal Joan Bodon has step-free access and a lift to the upper floor.
Wool mattresses and wool blankets are still made in the former family wool mill in Crespin. It is also possible to visit a family wool mill dating from 1900 in Crespin.
Those choosing Crespin as a travel destination may want to rent a holiday apartment.
Hiking and Nature
Caminada offers guided hikes and Nordic walking in Crespin. Caminada’s themed hikes explore fauna, flora, cultural heritage, land art and wild herb cuisine in connection with the work of the Occitan writer Jean Boudou.
“La Vallée du Viaur – Le chemin de Boudou” is a moderately difficult 11 km circular hike lasting 3 hours and 15 minutes, with 300 metres of elevation gain. The route follows a fisherman’s path along the Viaur and crosses a plateau with chestnut and oak trees.
Crespin thus brings together literary heritage, historic buildings, traditional wool craftsmanship and paths through the landscape along the Viaur.
