Hautefage-la-Tour, la balade de la Malausie

47340 Hautefage-la-Tour

The monumental tower, which gave the site its name, can be seen from almost every point along this route. The village of Hautefage is renowned for its church with a fortified bell tower, to which a round turret is attached. This building stands on a hill in the Pays de Serres, nestled between the valleys of the Tancanne, the Lestaque and the Lajasse. From the end of the Middle Ages onwards, it was a place of pilgrimage renowned throughout the Kingdom of France. The spring water flows from the church chancel, runs through it and emerges to the west in a fountain. It was believed to have the power to cure infertility. Anne de Beaujeu, daughter of Louis XI, gave birth to a daughter after her visit to Hautefage. The village, which benefited from the windfall provided by tourism at the time, owes its existence to this fountain.
