Panorama of the Goul Valley, the Aubrac plateau and the Mounts of Cantal.

Lapeyrugue is located South East of the Veinazès natural region, on the foothills of the Southern Châtaigneraie. The village is built on a crest and at the beginning of a path leading to the Goul valley overhanging it.

In the square, note the wrought-iron cross depicting the various instruments of the Passion. Although the date inscribed on the granite base is 1800, the cross was actually made in 1750 and hidden during the revolutionary turmoil. It was made by Jean de Séguy, provost from 1745 to 1776. The statue of the Virgin Mary in a red sandstone niche (probably reused) on the façade, rebuilt in the 18th century, is a reminder that the church is dedicated to Notre-Dame de l'Assomption. However, the cult of St Bernard, the monastery's first abbot, quickly developed in the hearts of the first Montsalvy residents. This popular beatification, accepted by the ecclesiastical authorities, led to the dedication of a chapel in the church in 1258. St Bernard is therefore considered the patron saint of the parish (celebrated on the Sunday following 11 October). In the church, discover the exceptional polychrome wooden Christ, listed as a historic monument, the 20th-century ciborium (or baldachin) installed in the Romanesque choir, the shrines containing the relics of St Gausbert and Saint Bernard and two of the four boundary crosses: the cross of St Anne and the cross of Cambon. An adjoining vaulted room houses the Treasure of Sacred Art, a collection of priestly objects from the various churches of the St Joseph en Veinazès parish.

A medieval town founded in the 11th century by the monk Gausbert, who established a sauveté surrounded by 4 crosses, which guaranteed ecclesiastical immunity to those who took refuge there. Montsalvy, a Petite Cité de Caractère® almost a thousand years old, has retained the austere atmosphere of those ancient fortified villages, huddled in on themselves and still imbued with their medieval splendour.

Overlooking the village of Montsalvy, Mount Puy de l'Arbre offers a magnificent natural observatory stretching from the Mounts of Cantal to the Rouergue, passing through the Aubrac Plateau. Near the toposcope, a granite stele reminds us that in 1798, Jean-Baptiste Delambre and Pierre Méchain measured here an arc section of the Paris meridian between Dunkirk and Barcelona. This arc measurement served as the basis for the original definition of the metre. This stele is therefore a survey marker. Picnic tables.

The Waterfall of Vachand can be found to the east of the village of Ladinhac, near the Moulin de Vachand. The best way to discover this site is to take the hiking trail proposed from Ladinhac "Des moulins à la vallée du Goul".

Ladinhac takes great care with its heritage, and this is something that strikes you straight away when you approach the village. Far from giving the impression of being stuck in the past, museified, this coquetry seems to infuse the village with a balance between tradition and modern rural life.

The site of the Devil’s Rocks has a great geological interest: it is a granite vein present in the commune of Junhac. This makes it one of the rare climbing sites in the Châtaigneraie.

Launched in spring 2023, the Leucamp walking trail is a reminder of the past existence of an industrial activity that is hard to imagine in these parts, where nature has reclaimed its rights in such a beautiful way: mining.

The history of tungsten mining on the slopes of the River Goul. A miner’s daughter tells you how the villages of Leucamp and Teissières-lès-Bouliès lived, for nearly 50 years, to the rhythm of the mine’s work. Models, photographs and objects staged illustrate the story, from the discovery of the ore in 1910 to the abandonment of mining in 1959. Open every day all year round.

L’Auberge Fleurie is a charming Cantal stopover in the area of the River Lot and the River Truyère, at an altitude of 800 m.

Reservations are strongly recommended. Closed on Mondays (except public holidays). Closed Tuesday lunchtime and Sunday evening .
