Once again we have reached a milestone on the "Via Podiensis", our pilgrimage route to St. James (Chemin de Saint Jacques) through France, and here in Nasbinals our small group of pilgrims is impressed by the beautiful atmosphere of the place. But we still have to move on the next morning ... first through the southern foothills of the Massif Central to the Pyrenees and - after crossing them - then further on the "Camino Frances" through northern Spain to the tomb of the Apostle in Santiago de Galicia Compostela.

The church, built by the monks of the order of Saint-Victoire-de-Marseille, was quickly put at the service of pilgrims during their difficult crossings of Aubrac, where they were threatened by predators and wolves. The five wooden sculptures inside were made between 1993 and 1997 by the artist Hervé Verhnes.

The church was built by monks of the Order of Saint-Victoire-de-Marseille and soon served pilgrims on their difficult routes through the Aubrac, where they were threatened by robbers and wolves. The five wooden sculptures in the interior were made by the artist Hervé Verhnes between 1993 and 1997.

Nasbinals is a beautiful village where all the houses are built of granite in the Aubrac style, and covered with large slates. The village has good infrastructure - with a pharmacy, a large food market, hostels, two hotels and a good restaurant. You can even buy hiking shoes there. Here in the village, the traditional transhumance festival takes place every year in May, when the cows are then decorated with flowers and bells to go to pasture, as in the past.

This Romanesque church was founded in the 11th century, but was not completed until the 13th century. It is a lovely medieval church with well-balanced proportions. The bell tower is octagonal and integrated in the nave. The church is made of basalt stones that can be found everywhere in the Aubrac region. The roof is covered with slate.
