Meymac Attractions

South of Felletin is Meymac, with a 12th C. abbey church which has fine granite capitals. Some of the abbey buildings have been restored. The highest of the beautiful surrounding hills is Mont Bessou, above Meymac. From the Signal d'Audouze (854 m/2,802ft), half way between Felletin and Meymac on D36, there are magnificent panoramic views, extending as far as the volcanic cones of Auvergne. This hill is the watershed between the Loire and the Dordogne. Adjoining the Millevaches plateau are the Monts des Monédières (911 m/2,989ft), from where there are also fantastic views.
