Entraigues

Entraygues takes its name from its position between the waters of the Lot and Truyère. The Count of Rodez built a castle here between 1278 and 1282, guarding a town where bridges crossed the two rivers. During the Hundred Years' War the passages were also a danger: in 1388 the Count of Armagnac ordered the bridge at Entraygues cut to prevent marauding companies from crossing.
