    Since 2016, this former abandoned priory has welcomed monks within its walls. Indeed, a group of artists created a fresco there to bring the place back to life.

    Road cycling

    Very quiet road with a fairly random surface.
    Located in the valley of Combeauté, in Val d'Ajol, the natural site of the meadows of Hérival combines ecological interest and historical heritage.


    In 1090, the hermit Engidald settled in the valley but it was probably in the 13th century that a larger community of monks took place in the current priory of Hérival.

    To support themselves, they created a pond for fish farming and the meadows were used for agriculture and medicine (medicinal plants).
