If you want to enjoy stunning views of the village of Saint-Genès-Champespe and its surroundings, you can hike up to the Saint-Sébastien church, which is perched on a hill overlooking the village. Built in 1907, the church is decorated with a bronze sculpture of a Salers cow, a local breed. From the church you can enjoy a panoramic view of the forests, lakes and mountains of the Auvergne region. You can also see Lake Laspialade and Lake Crégut, two magnificent lakes. It is an ideal place to admire the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Saint-Genès-Champespe.
