This church was a milestone on the way to Santiago de Compostela and a stopover for pilgrims. The land on which it stands was donated by the Viscount of Bruilhois in 1049. Believing that he had failed during his life as a warrior, he wanted to try to save his soul by donating of this land.

Hiking

Moirax is located on top of a hill, a few kilometers south of Agen and the Garonne. A medieval village dominated by the Cluniac Priory from the 11th century.

A jewel of Romanesque art, the imposing Notre-Dame church remaining from the Priory is a real architectural marvel. It has been perfectly restored and has been listed as a historical monument since 1846.
