POINTS OF INTEREST:

– A Cluniac site, a stage of greenery and freshness between Bredons and Conques: the Priory of Manhaval. “A Romanesque building from the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries. A hemi-circular apse in "ass of oven", a three-sided apse which rests on the pre-Romanesque foundations, as well as a Romanesque portal. The nave, probably too small at the time, was completed during the XNUMXth century by two side chapels. Unlike most parishes, the Manhaval cemetery, adjacent to the old church, has not changed location since the Middle Ages” Extract “Men and Stone in Carladez Barrézien – Lionel Lintilhac.
