Discover this mecca of Christianity in Agenais!
On the program: the former oppidum of the Nitiobroges, the tomb of Saint Vincent, the source of Saint Caprais, the caves of the hermits then of the Carmelites, the church of Notre-Dame.
After having been inhabited by the Nitiobroges Gauls, the site of the Hermitage becomes the refuge of the first Agenais Christians. You will discover the chapel and the tomb of Saint Vincent, the miraculous spring that Saint-Caprais brought forth, the caves of the hermits and the transformation of the place by the Carmelite brothers, until today’s vocational school. Without forgetting a breathtaking view from the top of the bell tower of the church of Notre-Dame.
