Nice church and the Pompidou Museum opposite. The village street is currently being renovated, June 2025.

Worth seeing church.

Unobstructed view of Lake Lastouille, which is very popular for swimming and fishing. It is entirely bordered by forests and summer pastures and is one of the largest water reservoirs in the Dordogne basin. Absolutely perfect for a dip in hot weather!

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 is an ideal place to admire the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Saint-Genès-Champespe.

The Saint-Austremoine church is a Catholic church erected between the 10th and 11th centuries. A real curiosity, this church is oriented northeast - southwest, unlike the norm which prefers an east-west orientation. Romanesque in style, the church is painted and has many carved capitals. It has been registered as a historical monument since 1969.

Lac de la Crégut is the largest natural lake of glacial origin in the Massif Central. From its banks, you can enjoy magnificent views of the Monts du Cantal and the surrounding lakes. It is now part of a whole system of reservoirs that supply water to the Rhue hydroelectric power station, at the Bort dam.

We enjoy beautiful views by following the small picturesque road, from the green gorges to the wooded slopes which run along the river.
