Schist drill
Highlight • Other
Schists (from the Greek skhistos: capable of splitting) are metamorphic rocks, transformed by the high temperatures and pressures they experienced during the formation of the Hercynian mountain range.
Originally, they were more or less clayey sediments deposited on the shores of an ocean located between two continents, which transformed into schists through the recrystallization of minerals.
Here we find a sericite schist, containing small mica crystals that give it a slightly lustrous appearance.

Saint Fleuret Church in Estaing
Highlight • Religious Site
On the foundations of this former priory the current church was built in the 15th century, first dedicated to Saint Amans3, first bishop of Rodez in the 5th century. It was subsequently placed under the patronage of Saint Fleuret, bishop who died in Estaing in the 7th century3. In the 16th century a funeral chapel was built to the south for the lords of Estaing2. The crypt, transformed into an ossuary in the 17th century, was emptied of the bones which were transferred to the new cemetery in 18922.
Against the choir, at the south-east corner, a sacristy was added in the 19th century. In 2008, work allowed easy access to the crypt for visits, it having previously been accessible by a trapdoor from nave2.
The church has been listed as a historic monument since December 29, 19274.
