the mill of mazel

From many points of this walk, which partly follows the old meter gauge line of the Paris-Orléans-Corrèze, you will distinguish, through meadows and groves, the massive bell tower of the Romanesque church of Lagraulière, classified as a Historical Monument! Its 12th-century porch will catch your eye with its finely sculpted scenes. The other "remarkable" features of the Church are: the altarpiece from the 17th century, a work by the Duhamel brothers, and "the fathers' chambers" (very rare). The route passes in front of the entrance to the Château de Bellefond (from the 17th century), which was the land of exile for Princes Baudoin and Albert, future kings of the Belgians, during the summer of 1940. At the town hall, hikers can discover our Marianne, a bronze work by Daniel Esmoingt (an artist who reproduced "Imperial France" at the Louvre), born from the study of 7 randomly photographed female faces from Graulhet.
