라 로미유는 로마에서 돌아온 두 명의 수도승이 설립한 오래된 수도원에서 유래했습니다. 교황청 재무관인 아르노 도(Arnaud d'Aux) 추기경이 1312년에 이를 인수하여 고딕 양식의 이 요새화된 대학 교회를 설립했습니다. 이 교회는 회랑과 탑으로 유명하며, 그중 하나는 팔각형으로 되어 있으며, 그 안에는 성구실, 이전의 회의실(공동체 회의 장소), 기록 보관소, 그리고 전망대 또는 감시탑이 있습니다.

Don't miss La Romieu to greet Angeline and the cats. I didn't see any, at least not alive ones. I didn't stop there either. To get there, I took the 6 km road; you can also get there via the GR (Greater French National Trail). Its Saint-Pierre collegiate church, a 14th-century Gothic masterpiece listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is imposing. Now for the legend... Around 1342, a terrible famine struck La Romieu. The starving inhabitants went so far as to eat all the cats in the village, thinking they were preserving their meager resources. But a little girl named Angeline, an orphan taken in by a local couple, adored cats. She hid two in the cellar, secretly feeding them, and then they bred. A little later, with all the cats gone, the village was invaded by thousands of rats, destroying the meager grain reserves and causing an even worse disaster. It was then that Angeline freed her cats. They multiplied again, drove out the rats, and saved the village. Angeline was honored by the villagers, and according to legend, her face took on the appearance of a cat, with feline features—a magical transformation to thank her love and loyalty to cats. Today, in tribute to this story, numerous cat statues adorn the streets, facades, and rooftops of the village.

La Romieu, dominated by the mighty abbey church, is a charming, typical Gascony village.

The collegiate church is magnificent, we recommend the guided tour. Our guide "Thierry" was both engaging and fun.

Beautiful architecture steeped in history.

After the effort, the Rocamadour gate brings hope of a good beer.

Located on the road to Santiago de Compostela (GR 65 coming from Puy-en-Velay), La Romieu is on the historic Lectoure-La Romieu-Condom section and receives a large number of pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela every year.

In addition to the monastery and the village itself, there is also a large botanical garden of about 6ha. For example, you will find the Arboretum, an English garden and a garden with all kinds of medicinal plants. There are separate but also combined tickets for access to the monastery and the botanical garden. And finally, of course, having a drink on a terrace under the watchful eye of Angeline and her cats...
