The massive structure rising above the landscape at this location – with its round dome (although only the vaulting ribs of the roof dome were built, the actual roof covering was never completed) and the lantern erected above it – and crowned by a cross, doesn't seem to quite fit with the small sacred monument at its peak. User 'Cx' has already provided information in his post about the history of the building and the originally planned statue of the Madonna, which was supposed to bestow its blessing upon the land and its people from here.

Unusual place, at the foot of the Suège peak, we like to stroll there, rediscover times gone by.

Nice place for a break - as long as you have something with you for the break

A pretty little traditional stone village. The town is part of a protected area of the Parc naturel régional des Grands Causses for it's biodiversity. There are currently no cafes or local shops, but the town itself, the quaint narrow streets and the church are well worth a visit.

Old castle of the 11th century which dominates the valley of the Tarn on its rocky outcrop.

The Puech Fontaneilles is topped with a monumental pedestal. Indeed, from the 19th century, a project to build a Virgin was launched with the construction of the pedestal. Problem: once completed, the statue ordered in Belgium never arrived on site (suggesting a scam) and today a cross has finally taken the place of the statue. Anyway, the site offers a magnificent view of the Tarn valley.
