Castelsagrat

Located on the ancient Roman road known as “la Clermontoise”, which ran from Bordeaux to Lyon, the city of Castelsagrat had to undergo great invasions until the end of the Middle Ages. The discovery of a Visigothic tomb proves the occupation of the land in the 5th and 6th centuries by the Visigoths ...

Moirax

A village that has existed since antiquity according to some archaeological evidence, Moirax was a stopover for pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela during the Middle Ages. In the 11th century, in 1049, one of the first Cluniac abbeys was founded here.
It became the Cluniac priory of Sainte-Marie and its church is now dedicated to Notre-Dame de Moirax.
