The Saint-Pierre-le-Vieux church probably dates from the 11th century and has been classified as a Historic Monument since 1986. It was damaged during the conflicts of the 16th century and the French Revolution, leading to the construction of a new south portal. It lost its parish function in 1846 in favor of the church of Vareilles, but excavations have revealed even older remains on its site.

Superb view of the Garabit viaduct, allowing you to cross the Truyère gorges. This metal structure, created by Gustave Eiffel, is 565 meters long and rises to 122 meters above the water. It was at one time the “highest viaduct in the world”!
