Hiking

This Romanesque church was founded in the 11th century, but was not completed until the 13th century. It is a lovely medieval church with well-balanced proportions. The bell tower is octagonal and integrated in the nave. The church is made of basalt stones that can be found everywhere in the Aubrac region. The roof is covered with slate.

The church was built by monks of the Order of Saint-Victoire-de-Marseille and soon served pilgrims on their difficult routes through the Aubrac, where they were threatened by robbers and wolves. The five wooden sculptures in the interior were made by the artist Hervé Verhnes between 1993 and 1997.

Hiking

The church, built by the monks of the order of Saint-Victoire-de-Marseille, was quickly put at the service of pilgrims during their difficult crossings of Aubrac, where they were threatened by predators and wolves. The five wooden sculptures inside were made between 1993 and 1997 by the artist Hervé Verhnes.
