Le Monastier-Sur-Gazeille: Holiday apartments and holiday homes
Culture
The Musée de l’Ecole is housed in a former school covering 400 square metres and displays collections of old school objects. A school lesson as it used to be is also recreated there: visitors can put on historical clothing and take part in classroom activities such as writing with a quill, doing arithmetic with an abacus and reciting.
The « Les Trésors du Monastier » museum is accessible to visitors with reduced mobility. Its collection includes a 12th-century reliquary bust of Saint Chaffre, six 15th-century paintings and Byzantine textiles from the 7th and 9th centuries.
At the Musée des Croyances Populaires, almost 200 modelled and painted figures are arranged in traditional and fantastical dioramas. The museum also presents fantastic stories and traditional rural beliefs.
The Église Saint Jean-Baptiste dates back to the 9th century and is now used as a venue for exhibitions and concerts. The Abbatiale Saint-Chaffre combines predominantly Romanesque architecture with Gothic elements; it contains an organ dating from 1518, described as the oldest in Europe. The Château Abbatial is built from basalt stones and is characterised by four massive round towers.
Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Le Monastier-Sur-Gazeille can include museums, historic buildings and paths through nature in their travel planning.
