Saint-Chély-d'Aubrac is a commune in the Aveyron department in southwestern France about 7 kilometers from Aubrac.

Location

The town is in a large and beautiful green valley on the GR 65, the "Way of Saint James" pilgrim route. When travelling on the long distance footpath, Saint Chély d'Aubrac is the next town after Aubrac. Going down a wild, wooded valley, the walker discovers this little town in a large clearing and comes into the town by the old bridge with its pilgrim's cross, like the pilgrims of the past.

Landscape

The town has been a member of the Natura 2000 network since August 2006. It hosts an annual chess festival.
