This very old village in the commune of Monestier-Merlines, built overhanging the Chavanon gorges, also had its hermit, Jean des Chèvres. Away from the houses, in search of solitude, he had built himself a shelter which he shared with his animals, near some large oak trees dating from the time of Sully. The construction, rustic as possible and half-buried, had left traces that could still be visited in 1950, allowing us to observe the ingenious arrangements for the master of the house, the billy goat, the goats and the kids.

In the early Middle Ages, Robert, founder of the Chaise-Dieu abbey, had a priory built on the right bank of the Dordogne. The abbey flourished from the 11th to the 13th century, with 16 monks.

The latter was built outside the walls for the surrounding population. It served as a parish church, succeeding the church of Saint Martin further up the plateau. Every summer, the chapel hosts exhibitions and concerts.
