Montaigut-le-Blanc and the 140 caves of Saint-Julien

This medieval village was built around a castle perched on a rocky spur. We can see by far the outline of its donjon recently restored. Below, you can discover the church with its Romanesque capital and its beautiful baptismal cistern of the 13th century. 2km away from Montaigut-le-Blanc, you can discover the village of Saint-Julien and its 140 caves hollow in the soft volcanic tuff of its hills. In the past used to age wine and keep apples fresh, it’s nowadays used to age Saint-Nectaire cheeses.
