Church of Saint Hilarian and Sainte Foy of Perse, Espalion

The old church is located almost opposite the new church of the same name, in the heart of downtown Espalion. On the site of the old hospice of Espalion, the church was built towards the end of the 15th century and into the 16th century, with the cingregation being celebrated from 1478. The church was decommissioned in 1883, after the consecration of the new Saint John the Baptist Church. Its northwest facade was transformed in 1884 by the architect of Rodez Gonzague Grinda, replacing the choir. The city hall and municipal services moved into the building from 1897 to 1948, when the city hall was transferred to the premises that housed the courthouse. The old church remained without affectation until in 1975, the collections of arts and popular traditions of Rouergue gathered by Joseph Vaylet were installed there (Joseph-Vaylet museum). In 1980, the Diving museum was also established there.

Located at the foot of the Aubrac, in the fertile Lot valley, Saint-Côme-d'Olt is a village whose almost circular physiognomy has kept its medieval character. Its city was fashioned around the ancient ramparts which have become the exterior facades of the houses. Three fortified entrance doors; the Porte de la Barrieyre, Thèron and Porte Neuve allow access to its centre, through very typical alleys. In its centre, it houses the two primordial monuments of the site: its twisted bell-tower church and its castle, former manor of the Sires de Calmont built in the 11th century. This church succeeds a first church, located further away, which has become too demanding. In 1521, the request for construction was authorized by the lord, since the Church becoming too small. Since then, some redevelopment works have taken place.

A beautiful building from the middle of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century, the Saint Fleuret Church is built on the schist spur which evidences the remains of rare rock burials, dating from the 11th century.
