Worth seeing church.

If you want to enjoy stunning views of the village of Saint-Genès-Champespe and its surroundings, you can hike up to the Saint-Sébastien church, which is perched on a hill overlooking the village. Built in 1907, the church is decorated with a bronze sculpture of a Salers cow, a local breed. From the church you can enjoy a panoramic view of the forests, lakes and mountains of the Auvergne region. You can also see Lake Laspialade and Lake Crégut, two magnificent lakes.

It has been registered as a historical monument since 1969.

These remains are those of an important resistance camp (several thousand men). The site is highlighted by various commemorative and explanatory plaques. At the end of June 1944, clashes took place throughout the sector and other plaques were affixed throughout the town for those who would like to deepen their knowledge.

A Mecca of the Maquisard resistance, this place is well highlighted with panels explaining the history - the ruins of the headquarters of the maquisards as well as their cars destroyed by the Germans in 1944 are still visible. Warning: the path is difficult to practice and is not very pleasant for mountain biking (in May 2021) since this sector has been partially deforested by large machines. Results: Lots of fallen trees on the path / to step over, and large ruts filled with water at this time. No problem for hiking!
