Hiking

Here, you are overhanging the cliffs, and thus benefit, by turning away slightly from the official path, from an exceptional view of the village of Espagnac Sainte-Eulalie.

Hiking

This former priory is located in a protected area, nestled between a meander of the Célé and the cliffs that border it. The strong point of the priory is its exceptional bell tower.

Hiking

The village of Espagnac is made up of the remains of a former large monastic complex. An Augustinian monastery built in 1130/1140 has already been destroyed during the Hundred Years War. When it was rebuilt in the period 1211 - 1264, a canonesses monastery was established, which successfully developed and contributed to the prosperity of the upper Célé valley. The convent was abandoned and badly damaged during the French Revolution. A choir of a hundred nuns sang once more during high mass before being definitively expelled.
