Saint-Julien-Chapteuil - Saint-Julien
At the end of the 11th century Benedictine monks, from La Chaise-Dieu founded a priory here. The first Romanesque church (1130) consisted of a three-nave nave and a transept.
This church got altered and redesigned in Gothic style in the 17th century. Due to the increase of population the church got expanded in the 19th century, when the town had about 3000 inhabitants (today 1900). Then the nave was expanded and the facade was erected, reminding on the facade of the Cathedral of the near Le Puy.

I reached Saint-Julien-Chapteuil the first time of my hike from Geneva to Conques, following the "Chemin de Compostelle". I do remember that it was so hot and I had difficulties to walk up to the church, as the mountain is very steep. And when I had reached the church, I rested inside the cool nave.
