Feneyrols
Féneyrols, known as Fénayrols-les-Bains until the early 20th century, is a commune located on the borders of three départements: Tarn-et-Garonne, Aveyron and Tarn: Tarn-et-Garonne, Aveyron and Tarn, covering an area of almost 1,500 hectares; it is located on the D115, which is used extensively by traffic heading for Montauban, Villefranche-de-Rouergue and Albi.
In the past, Féneyrols was famous for its three mineral springs, which were associated with the spa industry. All that remains today are the buildings, in particular the old thermal baths on the right bank of the Aveyron river, and around two hectares of parkland at the end of which is a hotel restaurant with a terrace.
Féneyrols has three churches: the church of Saint-Jean Baptiste des Camps, a square-roofed building facing north-east that stands almost a kilometre from the village on the banks of the Aveyron, the church of Sainte-Marie (Saint-Clair) de Quergoalle and the church of Carrendier.
A chapel of Saint Bernadette in the heart of the village completes this religious heritage.
Alongside these buildings, upstream of the metal suspension bridge, stands the château formerly known as Capdhuel, once a fortified residence and now privately owned.
Today, Féneyrols is a popular tourist destination in the summer, with water sports on the River Aveyron and traditional fishing.
