Things to see and do
Abbaye de Marcilhac
Long overlooked due to a lack of awareness, Marcilhac Abbey is surrounded by high limestone cliffs and is situated in a village that could well be described as a lost city. A cradle of Christian civilisation from as early as the 5th century, it was founded between the 9th and 11th centuries by Benedictine monks. As you walk through the abbey’s inner sanctum, it becomes clear that it suffered the ravages of the Hundred Years’ War
