Description

Panoramic view point on the Truyère gorges ant the Sarrans lake
Splendid site overhanging the gorges of Truyère. Site decorated with pink by quartz veins.
The rock of Turlande was occupied formerly of a castle in which was born Robert de Turlande, founder of the Abbey of La Chaise Dieu in Haute-Loire. It was destroyed during the Hundred Years War. Only the Romanesque castral chapel remains, classified as a historical monument.
The motte castrale, in a semi-circle, leaning on the rocky spur is still present and one can access it, provided one goes through the vegetation, at the foot of the rock.
The defense ditch which surrounds it remains well visible.

Panoramic view. Accessible from the hamlet of Laborie in the commune of Paulhenc.

ATTENTION: The chapel is being renovated and will be closed to visitors in 2022.
Visits planned in 2023: in July and August on Wednesdays and Sundays from 3 to 6 pm. Thank you for a donation for the renovation of the chapel.
