PR 13 : Entre Rhue et Couzans

PR 13 : Entre Rhue et Couzans

Description

A hike punctuated by some of Sumène Artense's most emblematic sites: Couzans castle, Saut de la Saule and the Rhue gorges.

Saut de la Saule is a surprising canyon carved out of a gneiss barrier by the Rhue river. Accompanied by a succession of rapids and waterfalls, this site separates the communes of Vebret in Cantal and Bort-les-Orgues in Corrèze.

Departure point: Hameau de Cheyssac.
From the parking lot, at the crossroads between the D22 and the D103, take the D103 towards Bort-les-Orgues, then the first road on the right which takes you to the center of the hamlet.

Church "Saint-Louis, Sainte-Marie, Saint-Victor, Saint-Maurice"

Romanesque church. Year of construction: 12th century. Classified as a historical monument in 1930.The Church of Saint-Maurice-et-Saint-Louis in Vebret is a true treasure of the Cantal region's Romanesque heritage. Its origins date back to the 12th century, and it is mentioned in a charter attributed to Clovis. Frequently remodeled over the centuries, two side chapels were added to the church, notably in the 15th century. The church is built in the Auvergne Romanesque style, with volcanic tufa stone on its west facade. The bell tower is a truncated pyramid-shaped bell gable, with three openings for the bells. The roof is traditional, covered with slate tiles, and buttresses support the structure. Restorations carried out from 1997 onwards revealed painted decoration, some motifs of which date back to the Romanesque period. In the barrel-vaulted nave, the transverse arches rest on columns with sculpted capitals. One of the church's treasures is a monumental polychrome wooden Christ, nearly two meters high and wide, in a "Christ Triumphant" style. The furnishings include a 17th-century pulpit, a wooden baptismal font, and statues of saints (Saint Louis, Saint Maurice, etc.). There is also a reliquary-monstrance of Saint Louis, an object of significant heritage value. Visit and access: Self-guided tours are possible; keys can be obtained from the Vebret town hall (04 71 40 20 86).
