Beautiful view

old mill, magnificent to see it is used to display local and artisanal products

Nestled under a rock wall at the bottom of the village of Saint-Chély du Tarn, the Notre-Dame de Cénaret chapel, dating from the 12th century, sits near a spring leading to an underground lake. It's definitely worth the detour!

This Marian shrine, dedicated to the Mother of God under the customary title "Notre Dame" (Our Lady), crouches – at least so it seems – almost protectively under the ledge.

Small but fine rock chapel, which is not at all expected in the place

Unfortunately, hikers are not welcome there. The path was blocked every 20-30 meters with branches laid across it, which were obviously placed there specially. Our hike came to an abrupt end in front of a sheep fence that was stretched across the path. Meanwhile, someone had left a large dog mess in front of the driver's door of our car, which we had parked nearby on the edge of a small hamlet. The message was clear.

This chapel built in the 12th century at the entrance to a cave is impressive. It is now a craft shop. Very beautiful buildings ranging from medieval times to the Renaissance are to be discovered all around in the village of Saint-Chély-du-Tarn.

The Col de la Pierre Plate, at an altitude of 1016m, obviously owes its name to the dolmen whose enormous megalith that crowns it has a perfectly flat shape.
