Description

In the heart of the Mounts of Cantal in the Jordanne Valley, between Aurillac and the Puy Mary, come and visit the village and its church.
Through a monumental work of more than 100 m², discover the life of Gerbert, this child of the country, who became the first French Pope under the name of Sylvester II, known as the Pope of the Year 1000, illustrious scientist, "maker of kings ”. These frescoes, by the Hungarian painter Gábor Szinte produced in 2005, depict the great periods of Gerbert's life. The paid application “ST-SIMON - LA VIE DE GERBERT” offers a visit accessible to the greatest number directly on smartphone or tablet, in French, English and Hungarian in the form of a route that begins in the central square of the village, then at the foot of the Church Tower, continues inside the church in front of the thirteen paintings by Gábor SZINTE, in front of the baptismal font, and ends not far from there, on the superb medieval stone bridge spanning the Jordanne River.
In addition, using a second free application "DISCOVERY OF SAINT-SIMON", go for a walk in the villages and hamlets of the town, around their history and heritage.
