Tips
3 km south of the village of Grateloup, on a site overlooking the Garonne to the west and the Lot to the south, all that remains of the church of Saint-Gayrand are open-air ruins. Listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments, they testify to what was an impressive stone vessel, originally Romanesque (12th century) then Gothic (15th and 16th centuries).
To see, the square bell tower with its stair tower which reveals the fortification of the church of Saint-Gayrand and if you have an observant eye, several sculptures of the Gothic portal which have survived the centuries, including a beautiful salamander, a Virgin with the Child and a Christ holding a globe.translated by
