L'abbaye de Moissac est un haut lieu de l'art roman, classée Monument Historique en 1840 et inscrit au patrimoine mondial de l'humanité par l'Unesco en 1998, au titre des chemins de Compostelle. The abbey of Moissac is a masterpiece of Romanesque art, classified at the French Historical Monuments since 1840 and World Heritage by Unesco since 1998 as part of the pilgrimage to Saint-James of Compostela

We visited the cloister on the last day of a week in which we viewed many beautiful examples of Romanesque tympanums and cloisters, in varying degrees of preservation- however they all paled in comparison to what is here in Moissac- the sheer amount of art to be taken in, and its amazing preservation. Do purchase the audio guide and use the legend to study every capital ( both available in English, and includes the church) If you are anywhere nearby, this is definitely worth the detour. It is Art History 101 come to life. We arrived 90 minutes before closing- if you are at all into this period of art and architecture I would allow at least two hours.

5. Church of Lachapelle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 28 reviews
Originaly the chapel of the castle, the church of Lachapelle is part of the body of the chateau built in the 11th century. It became the parish church in the 15th century. The visitor is always surprised by the baroque style of the interior, built in 1776 by Maraignon Champaigne at the request of the abbes Goulard, two brothers who where vicar and curate of the parish. The interior architecture contains wood moulding both painted and guilded. A triple range of arcades carrying two galleries, convex and concave, fills the rear of the church and gives it the feeling of an italian theatre. Your visit will allow you to admire this recently restored unique gem.

The Abbey of Beaulieu-en-Rouergue was founded in the 12th century and was extended in the 17th and 18th century. It was partly demolished after the Revolution but was fortunately saved and restored in the 1960s. The 13th century church, chapter house and cellar form an excellent example of Cistercian architecture. Since 1970, the Abbey of Beaulieu-en-Rouergue has housed the Contemporary Art Centre with a fine collection and temporary exhibitions.
