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.

There is something magical about looking out over the valley and cliffs from the vantage point at the top of the road leading into the village.

Small village in balcony on the limestone cliffs of the Céllé valley from where the view is sublime. Clinging to the walls, medieval houses and semi-troglodyte dwellings amaze. The historic market town and village center stretch out to the banks of the river.

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!

Marcilhac-sur-Célé is on the way to Santiago de Compostela (variant 651 of the GR65). Organized around its abbey whose Romanesque church has preserved an austere beauty, this village exudes tranquility and bathes in the freshness of the banks of the Célé. It seems very tiny next to these large limestone cliffs!

Saint-Pierre de Marcilhac Abbey was built at the beginning of the 9th century by Benedictines from Moissac, fleeing the Normans. Pépin, king of Aquitaine, took it under his protection in 845 or 848. In the 10th century the abbey was independent. In the 12th century, it was very powerful and had more than a hundred priories, including the church of Rocamadour donated in 1030 by Déodat or Dieudonné, bishop of Cahors. After many destructions, the abbey has lost its luster, to be today only the shadow of itself. Much of the building is no more than ruins, but by visiting it you will be able to realize its past grandeur. The church adjoining the abbey is on the other hand well renovated.
