Camping de l'Ile du Bidounet: Discover Moissac and Beyond

Breaking with the curvaceous Art Nouveau style that flourished at the end of the 19th century, Art Deco was a style that aimed to be modern and functional, and sought to be industrially applicable. Traditional building materials were gradually abandoned in favour of concrete, leaving brick and stone to play a decorative role. Stylized ornamentation and rational, geometric shapes are the hallmarks of Art Deco, which you will discover as you stroll through the streets of Moissac: ironwork, street furniture, frescoes, doors, window embrasures, etc.

Berceau des Châtelains de Lafrançaise "les Montratier-Parazol". Le château est aujourd'hui en ruine.

La première mention écrite de la chapelle remonte au XIème siècle. L'édifice actuel date de 1877 et a été répertorié aux Monuments Historiques en 1992. De style roman, avec une inspiration du néo-grec et du byzantin, la chapelle est constituée d'une nef carrée, surmontée d'une coupole qui se dresse sur un tambour. Elle est ouverte à la visite en juillet et août le dimanche de 15h à 18h30, et toute l'année sur rendez-vous au 05 63 65 46 71.

Aux cimetières de Lafrançaise, Lunel et Saint-Maurice, une trentaine de stèles prennent la forme de pyramides, une "mode locale" qui intrigue. Une référence à l'île de "Malthe" laisse penser à une possible participation d'un membre de la famille des Parazols à l'expédition d’Égypte de Bonaparte en 1798.

L'église paroissiale a été détruite et reconstruite à plusieurs reprises jusqu'en 1900, pour devenir une église ogivale dotée de remarquables vitraux. Il reste peu d'éléments du mobilier de l'ancienne église : un pri-Dieu avec un panneau historié du XVIIème siècle, une statue de la Vierge à l'enfant du XVIIIème siècle, un plateau de quête en dinanderie du XVIème siècle. Elle est actuellement fermée au public en raison de présence de fissures sur la voûte.

Le point de vue permet de dominer la plaine du Tarn. Par beau temps, la chaîne des Pyrénées se profile à l'horizon. Possibilité de pique-niquer sur place.

Créé en 1154, il devient prieuré collégial en 1317 et est aujourd'hui le dernier prieuré grandmontain construit en "briques anglaises". De l'église, seule la nef subsiste car l'abside a été détruite en 1918. Une partie est classée par les Monuments Historiques.

Mentionnée au XIVème siècle, elle a été complètement détruite pendant les guerres de religion puis pauvrement reconstruite. Le plan présente la forme d'un rectangle allongé, terminé par un abside à trois pans. Son clocher avec sa tour octogonale est inscrit à l'inventaire des Monuments Historiques.
