Cathedral of Notre-Dame, Rodez

The construction of this church began in 1277 and lasted until the 16th century. This building succeeds a first, older, pillaged and collapsed church. The revolution inflicted damage on the building, before its transformation of the cathedral into a temple of religion.

Church of Saint Foy, Conques

This abbey was built in 1041, on the site of an old hermitage, following the influx of pilgrims. This influx was encouraged by the translation of the body of Sainte-Foy, to Agen, which occurred almost 2 centuries earlier by a monk. The Wars of Religion inflicted damage on the pillaged building.
