Saint-Julien-Des-Chazes: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
The Chapelle Sainte-Marie-des-Chazes is sheltered by basalt cliffs and is considered an outstanding example of Auvergnat Romanesque art. As a medieval priory, the chapel was dependent on the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Pierre-des-Chazes, which was founded around 910. In 1862, the Chapelle Sainte-Marie-des-Chazes was protected as a historic monument through its inclusion on a list.
