A small village between Espalion and Estaing with a notable Romanesque chapel. The Chapelle Saint-Pierre de Bessuéjouls, attached to the parish church, has early Romanesque carved capitals that are considered some of the finest in the Rouergue. If you have an interest in Romanesque art, it's worth a look. Otherwise, there are no real services here.

History

The Chapelle Saint-Pierre dates from the 11th century and its carved capitals depict biblical scenes with a distinctive local style. The church was a dependency of the abbey of Conques.

A very old building, horrible concentracion of stinky fungus/mold. Eyes burning immediately after entering, I had to leave after a few minutes inside the house. The landlady was also gross with cat hair all over her shirt.
