The medieval city

Monestiés offers the joys of discovery to those who love the testimonies of the past. Nestled in a meander of Cérou, the medieval city is at the heart of a generous nature.

The village, classified among the most beautiful of France, formerly fortified is encircled by lice; its round shape gives it its originality. The houses are intertwined around St Peter’s Church, and through a maze of alleys, our knowledgeable companions will satisfy your curiosity.

Commented Visit

The Saint-Jacques Chapel and its statuary set

Through this visit you will discover how this small establishment, former hospital on the paths of St Jacques de Compostela, became chapel.

Then we will tell you the original story of this full-size polychrome stone statuary set, representing three scenes of the Passion of Christ. Dating from the 15th century and listed as a Historical Monument, this unique work heralds the Renaissance by its modernity.

Commented Visit

The Bajén-Vega Museum

At the heart of a mansion of the 15th century, you will discover the constrasted universes of two Spanish political refugee painters, in love with Monestiés:

Fransisco Bajén, «the painter of silence»
and Martine Vega, “the colour tamer”.
