マルシアックシュルセレのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The Benedictine monastery of Marcilhac is now only a ruin, but is still absolutely worth seeing. Only remnants remain (12th century). Several imaginatively designed Romanesque capitals can be admired in the chapter house.

Marcilhac Village is worth a stop

A fenced meadow with two restored casselles surrounded by traditional dry stone walls. These dry stone huts and walls are common in the Quercy region north of the Lot valley. They were used in the late 18th century and the 19th century by the local (sheep) farmers. Sometimes they served as a chicken coop, sometimes as a storage place for tools and sometimes as a shelter for the animals. The two casselles in this meadow have been very well restored and, in addition to sights, also provide good hiding places.

Small village at the foot of the great limestone cliffs of the Célé valley. On the road to Santiago de Compostela, it is organized around a large and beautiful Romanesque church, on the edge of the river.

Can ride a section heading west from Corn beside Cele on track with gravel bike otherwise stay on main road

Pleasant walk!

This path in gravel and fine pebbles, very pleasant, allows you to have access to the oldest part of the village.

Le Vieux Sauliac was established at the foot of the cliff overlooking the Célé. Its houses were staged all along the way leading to the five main fords which make it possible to cross in various places the Célé to join the Lot valley. In the 19th century, the village migrated to the foothills overlooking the new Figeac-Cabrerets road. The Célé flows below. A natural bathing replaced the site where farmers and villagers came to wash clothes, water the animals and draw drinking water. The town has 109 inhabitants, a small minority of whom live in the town centre. There is no longer any trade in Sauliac, apart from a few street vendors which continue to serve it (baker, butcher).
