The churches and chapels.
Happy match of the light-colored stone, tile and brick with warm reliefs evoking the Midi, the built heritage of the Quercy Southwest is not limited only to civil constructions. The christian fervour and the relative density of population during the Romanesque period have resulted in the construction of many churches and chapels, taking advantage of the spiritual radiation of the abbeys of Moissac and Saint Maurin, and the general movement of expansion, well imaged by the famous formula of the "white coat of churches", according to Raoul Glaber, French columnist of the 11th century.
If many have disappeared, our terroir remains a reference in terms of concentration of these buildings. Of touching architectural simplicity, they punctuate regularly the landscape, often isolated in their vale.
