The sanctuary of Notre-Dame-de-Peyragude, which dominates the Lot valley, is a highly symbolic place, paying homage to the Virgin.

As early as the year 1000, an oratory paid homage to the Virgin. The first church was destroyed in 1562. The construction of the basilica was spread out from 1898 to 1948. Its Romanesque-Byzantine architecture is a real curiosity which dominates the whole Lot valley. "Peyragude" means "sharp stone": historians suggest that there was already a place of worship here before Christianization. It is therefore a highly symbolic place that has seen chapels, strongholds, castles..

une promenade à faire dans la ville qui mène vers l'église. Il y a un parking pas très loin pour ceux qui seraient effrayés par la montée. Arrivée au sommet une charmante église et une belle vue sur les environs, ne pas hésiter à faire le tour de l'église pour tomber sur une petite grotte et ensuite suivre le chemin ombragé , il y a un promontoire qui nous permet d'avoir une superbe vue.
The ascent is terrible by 40° in the shade, and is interested only in the view of the dome of Our Dame de Peyragude.
