Nestled in the heart of a meander of the Daronne, the hamlet of Saint-Sorny is a natural setting where calm reigns supreme. The small Romanesque chapel is remarkable in this preserved setting classified as a Sensitive Natural Area.

Cabled suspended footbridge over the Daronne. Turn left, just after the footbridge, back and forth, for 100m, for the view.

Near the Romanesque Chapel of Saint Martin de Galéjas, the Brunière cheese dairy welcomes you to help you discover its Picodon and other goat cheeses. Sale on site.

The Chapel of Saint Martin de Galéjas was built in the 12th century and stands on the side of a hill facing the church of Saint-Sylvestre. A curious pinnacle surmounts it. A source flows nearby whose virtue would be to cure skin diseases. The word Galéjas would come from gala, scabies. The first traces of the chapel date back to the middle of the 10th century, when it was dedicated to Saint Martin, apostle of Gaul, built instead of Galézas.
