A castle in the Monts du Cantal

Nestled in the heart of the Cantal mountains, Tournemire is a charming, leafy village overlooked by the Château d'Anjony, a magnificent square-shaped building with four round towers. Surrounding the 12th-century Romanesque church, the 14th- and 15th-century houses, with their tuff stone walls and slate or slate-tiled roofs, are typical of traditional Cantalian architecture.

A legend from Tournemire

Now safely housed in the church, the Holy Thorn nevertheless nearly disappeared on the day two thieves made off with it. Pursued by the inhabitants of Tournemire, the thieves hid the thorn in a tree. An extraordinary event then took place: tears of blood flowed from the tree, thus revealing the hiding place to the villagers. The treasure was saved and the thieves were arrested as soon as they tried to retrieve their loot.
