Balade Autour de la Bastide

Sarting from the bastide of Rudelle, this walk will take you from the Causse to the Limargue with a stop at the Cabrimont spring which back in the 12th C. supplied a leper hospital. Originally, this was just a chapel which had to be fortified to serve as a refuge for the population during the troubles of the Hundred Years' War. This religious edifice was built in the Gothic style (12th C.) and is a perfect example of a fortified church in Quercy. Its architecture is more reminiscent of a keep than of a religious building. Further down, the church proper, oval in shape, consists of a single nave with rib vaulting.
