Saint-Sulpice

Highlight • Other

This balcony village clinging to its cliffs is remarkable on many levels: it presents a habitat that ranges from medieval houses that climb the walls, to semi-troglodyte dwellings leaning against the rock. In perfect harmony extends the historic town, the center of the village which goes to the mill located on the edge of the river.

On both sides, the cornice roads offer some of the most striking views of the Célé valley. Besides the ruins of its 12th century feudal castle, the village also has a very beautiful Romanesque church. But if you take a closer look, you will discover other more discreet treasures: pretty low walls, shepherds' shelters, wells, ponds, fountains, and remains of brickyards.

Combes-Hautes Dolmen

Highlight • Other

Also called Pailhès-Nord, this dolmen presents a great regularity in its design, a harmony that does not fail to notice the visitor.
The table and supports provide a nice balance.


This ancient tumulus is located in a pasture. Thank you for respecting the animals that are there and remember to close the barriers properly if you visit it.

Very close to the dolmen you will find a shepherd's shelter and a borie made of local stones.

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.

Marcilhac-sur-Célé

Highlight • Other

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!
