Chapel of the XIIth century with a vault decorated with a Christ in majesty, the legend of Saint Magdalene, Saint Victor and the invisible bridge.

The little chapel of Sainte-Madeleine perched on its rock is a sight to behold. To reach it you must take the road from the roundabout at the northern entrance to Massiac and follow the A75 motorway. Once there, the view over the town is superb. Built in the 12th century, the building is classified as a historical monument. The vault is decorated with a Christ in majesty. You will also discover the legend of Sainte-Madeleine and Saint-Victor and the invisible bridge that unites them every night.

Cette chapelle surplombe la vallée et se voit depuis les routes, ce qui en fait, perchée sur son éperon rocheux, la symbolique de la porte d'entrée du Cantal.
Les fresques sont intéressantes, la statuaire est visible dans l'église Saint André de Massiac.
A préciser également que la chapelle est située sur l'itinéraire de la Via Arverna, chemin de Saint Jacques de Compostelle.
Par ailleurs, l'office de tourisme propose des visites en période estivale !
