Villeneuve: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
The Church of Saint-Sépulcre houses 14th-century wall paintings, including the fresco scene known as “Pendu Dépendu”, which is associated with the pilgrimage to Compostela. Its floor plan was inspired by the Basilica of Jerusalem; at the same time, the church combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles.
Culture
The Church of Saint-Sépulcre is included in classic, sensory and night-time guided tours. Guided tours in Villeneuve also include the Sauveté, the bastide and the historic church with Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, as well as 14th-century frescoes.
The Jean-Marie Périer Gallery presents a permanent exhibition with 200 photographs, as well as a one-hour film about the photographer’s personal life. It is housed in a medieval building from the 14th century that was formerly known as Maison du Mazel.
The Church of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul of Toulongergues can be visited in summer and during the European Heritage Days as part of guided tours. In July and August, a guided tour takes place every Wednesday at 3 p.m.
Anyone wishing to combine a visit to Villeneuve with a visit to the Church of Saint-Sépulcre can rent a holiday apartment.
Trails and Landscapes
The Circuit des fours à chaux circular trail leads to former lime kilns in Villeneuve, which form part of the town’s industrial heritage. The Chemin des caselles begins in the centre of Villeneuve and runs along typical paths of the Causse, lined with dry-stone walls.
The Causse de Villeneuve offers landscapes of stony heathland and low-growing oak forests, as well as dolmens, caselles and a dovecote as sights to explore.
The GR62B variant of the Way of Saint James, which connects Conques with Toulouse, passes through the municipality of Villeneuve. The Maison des Pèlerins, opened in 2018, highlights Villeneuve’s importance as a key stop on the pilgrimage routes concerned.
