Gaillères

The détox
Rather nature or culture?

 

Dating from the 10th or 11th century, in Romanesque style, stop off at Gaillères to admire the church.

 

With a 3-hectare pond within a 16-hectare forest area dedicated exclusively to hiking and fishing, you can disconnect from the world!

The ponds of Massy

It offers 18 hectares dedicated to hiking, fishing and lakeside strolls. Several circuits are proposed:

a fitness trail of 2400 meters equipped with about fifteen pieces of equipment

a botanical trail to discover mosses, lichens and ferns, which are abundant in wetlands.

an arboretum populated by some 1,500 trees of different species


The church

It is dated from the 10th or 11th century. The rear part has a walled opening flanked by two columns supporting Romanesque capitals. The apse bears the traces of devastation due to the wars of religion.

On the lower side of the nave, the chapel was dedicated to Saint Jacques in 1855.
