Each stage of the production is represented, highlighting his gift for observation, his talent as a draughtsman and his quality for capturing significant detail.

This engraved statue is made of Permian sandstone and was discovered in 1980. A chevron decorated belt and the round shape of the knees are visible.

St Martin’s chapel dates back to the 10th century, and was the main church of the parish of Boussac. It is located on top of a mound which is 650 m high and was renovated in 1999 by a local association. Once a year, around August 15, an open air mass is celebrated, gathering between 200 to 300 parishioners and friends.

This dolmen is situated 300 m North of Touloupy farm, up a hillside, atop a small plateau (private property). It is a fine specimen of a simple dolmen with no remaining headstone and an estimated tumulus that had a diameter of 4 m, now destroyed by farming. The current farmers and landowners have re-erected this dolmen.

This dolmen is still surrounded by large stones that form a tumulus. The framework has remained complete with 3.5 metre high orthostats (sidestones) and a thick flat capstone weighing approximately 19 tons.It would have been erected some 4500 years ago.The clearing works were carried out during May 2015 with the assistance of the SARAC

Abbot Hermet was a renowned archeologist. He was born in Calmels in 1856, and died in Rodez in 1939. He became interested in carved standing stones when he first saw them at the age of ten, and was immediately keen to learn all that he could about them. He published his first book on the subject, covering six discoveries in 1892. This led to his taking up formal training in the scientific method of archeology, and in 1898, he gave these statues their official classification of “carved standing stones”. In 1901 he became the first to undertake a thorough investigation of the Graufesenque Gallo-Roman site in Millau.

This statue displays all of the feminine features: breasts are depicted either side of the Y shaped pendant,legs are set apart and the hair is tied back and depicted by a stripe down the back from the top of the head to the belt. The eyes are wide open set either side of the nose above tattooed   cheeks represented by four lines. 

The flat capstone that weights over 3 tons is inclined, but this dolmen is in a good state of preservation and deserves to be restored.

This dolmen which can be seen from the road is one of the dolmens that is worth making a detour to visit. It is nicknamed l’Ercoule owing to an old legend that the demigod Hercules, known for his superhuman strength, must have built this burial chamber.

Here you will enjoy an outstanding all-round 360º view with two fully documented viewpoint indicators.

The second board provides information about the village of Vabres l'Abbaye and on the creation of the bishopric in 1135.

This sanctuary which was founded by Alix de Castelnau has existed since at least the 15th century, when it was called Ouradou (oratory). This chapel was refurbished in 1730 and during the 19th century, the stairway door of the castle was then brought back into use.

I wish you to love what must be loved and to forget what that must be forgotten. I wish you passions, I wish you silences. I wish you birdsong when you wake up and the laughter of children. I wish you to respect the differences of others, because merit and the value of each are often to be discovered. I wish you to resist the stagnation, the indifference and the negative virtues of our time. Finally, I wish you never to give up research, adventure, life, to love, because life is a wonderful adventure and no reasonable person should give it up without fighting a tough battle. Above all, I wish you to be you, proud of it and happy, because happiness is our true destiny." Goodbye Muriel
