Le Prieuré de la Côte

On the site of a former Templar priory in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional de Millevaches, Stéphanie welcomes you in this nicely renovated house, typical of the habitat of the plateau. Beautiful proportions, granite walls, a slate roof, strong elements such as this exceptional well characterize the place. One enters a vast living room warmed in winter by a wood stove: the relaxation area is warm, the kitchen open to the living room is functional. The beautiful stone staircase leads to a reading or play area, 3 bedrooms and a shower room/WC. The whole is elegant, comfortable and nothing is missing.



A promise kept for those who want to break with their daily life: nature vacations, reconnection with the essential, privileged moments with family or friends but also a place to work from a distance with the trees as a backdrop.

Abbaye Saint-André

In 1085, a certain Archambaud III, Viscount of Comborn, founded the monastery of Meymac as a result of his unworthy behavior. At first, it was a priory dependent on the abbey of Uzerche. But following the intrigue of a monk (prior Hugues de Besse in 1145) who, on his own authority, wanted to turn the priory into an abbey (often a convent of Benedictine rule) and take over its management, there were long and sometimes heated discussions between the cloister of Uzerche and that of Meymac. The monk eventually gave in, but the title of abbey remained (1146).



Until 1824, the abbey was under threat, but was saved by Prosper Mérimée?s classification as a Monument Historique in 1840, and work campaigns from 1846 onwards contributed to its complete renovation.



The monastery was subsequently sold in lots. Today, the east wing houses the Fondation Vazeilles, and the west wing
