The village of Anglars, located in the center of a triangle formed by Laguiole, Estaing and Espalion, conceals many treasures. Surrounded by the houses of the hamlet, an 11th century Romanesque Templar church, fortified during the Hundred Years War, houses a very original museum. On the first floor of the relatively imposing building due to its high construction, you will discover a reconstruction of the village school. In the bell tower, the association "History and Heritage of Anglars du Cayrol" has set up a surprising museum illustrating with many details and documents, the history of the exploitation of the bluish slate found on a majority of roofs of local houses. This very special slate made up of shales comes from several quarries, which have been exploited for centuries near the village. If you wish, a hiking circuit allows you to discover, in particular, a place of extraction nestled in the heart of remarkably preserved nature, omnipresent in this region which marks the transition between the Lot valley and the Aubrac plateaus.

The members of the Anglars du Cayrol slate museum association will be able to guide you from this magnificent village. In addition to hiking, don't forget to visit the "Catholic" church and just above its "Republican" school!!!
