Not really recommended. The narrow forest paths with cobblestones seem endless.

In 1122, a monastery belonging to the Benedictines of the Cluniac order stood here. Legend has it that the spring appeared after the monastery's disappearance. The spring is said to be fertile.

Nice place, it would be even nicer if there was a railway cycle path.

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.
