Mazières: holiday apartments and holiday homes

Culture and history

In ancient times, Mazières was traversed by the Roman road Via Agrippa. The Église Saint-Sulpice is a Romanesque church that is well preserved overall. Its vault and the bell tower on the side were dismantled and rebuilt in the 18th century. The church was often open so that visitors could admire its stained-glass windows.

Those who choose Mazières as a travel destination may be planning to rent a holiday apartment there.
