The town of Le Viala dates from Medieval times and contains several interesting towers built in the 14th century. The administration of the Commune maintains a popular swimming beach and small boat access point on the Tarn.

One such tower is pictured at right. Owned by the patriarch of a prominent Anglo-Saxon family, it was renovated from 1985 - present.
