THE OLD HOSPICE
A hospice housing apartments and featuring a facade showing three raised arcatures supported by colonnettes.
Facing the church of Saint-Géraud, this 12th century Romanesque building was the hospice of the abbey (no longer existing). A Latin inscription reminds us that the building was dedicated to the reception and rest of pilgrims. The façade, restored in 1937, shows three raised arches supported by columns whose capitals have chequered abacuses, from the Aurillac school. The building currently houses apartments. On the square, the fountain with a monolithic basin in green serpentine dates from 1107 and may have come from the cloister of the former monastery.
