During your visit, you can admire one of the most beautiful houses in the village, the presbytery. Its left wing dates back to the 15th century and was part of the former priory. In 1820, when the minor seminary was built, a new wing was added to accommodate the priests who taught. After the last parish priest left the village in 2000, the presbytery remained closed until 2014. It was thanks to the volunteers of the Pierre en Héritage association that he was rehabilitated that year. For nine years now, it has welcomed GR46 pilgrims from Rocamadour during annual campaigns.
Restoration work has shed light on 19th century naturalist paintings that adorned the living room.
Finally in the afternoon, the presentation of a slideshow of old postcards will take place, from 15:30 to 17:00, in the large living room of the presbytery.

The Presbytery is one of the most beautiful houses in the village. A part dates from the 15th century, and belonged to the former priory. When the minor seminary was built in 1820, a wing was added to accommodate all the priests who worked as teachers. It remained closed from 2000 to 2014, after the last parish priest left the village.
Rehabilitated by the volunteers of the association of Stones in Heritage in 2014, and during annual campaigns, it welcomes for 7 years pilgrims of GR46 coming from Rocamadour. The restoration work allowed to update naturalist paintings of the nineteenth century that adorned the small living room.
