Montredon
The Vía Podiensis
Montredon sits on the highest point between Livinhac and Figeac. The name means the rounded mountain, and the village is dominated by the Eglise Saint-Michel. This is where the GR65 crosses from the Aveyron department into the Lot.
Just outside the village stands the Croix des Trois Eveques, the Cross of the Three Bishops. It marks the intersection of three old provinces: Quercy, Rouergue, and Auvergne, now the junction of the Lot, Aveyron, and Cantal departments. The cross commemorates the Council of the Three Border Dioceses held in 590, and according to legend, three bishops shook hands while each remained standing in his own diocese. The original cross, documented from 1238, was a modest 80 cm. The current version was reconstructed in 2013 by three neighboring municipalities.
