Venteuges: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The current bell tower of the Church of Saint John the Baptist in Venteuges is 32 metres high and was built in 1857. The church was built from granite from the Margeride, while its choir was rebuilt in the 15th century by the Abbess of Chazes. On its north-west side, it adjoins the former House of the Béates. In addition, a Romanesque building is associated with the Church of Saint John the Baptist in Venteuges.

The private Maison forte de La Fagette is located in Venteuges. The ruins of the 13th-century Château de Meyronne are also located in the village.
