Canal des Moines
An exceptional 1.5 km-long 12th-century work of art, sometimes dug into the rock, sometimes corbelled by the abbey's Cistercian monks, the canal des moines runs along the rock face from its intake on the Coyroux stream. It served fish ponds and mills and brought running water to the monastery.
There are several possibilities for walks: round-trip along the Canal (1h30) or loop walks (3h). Departure point near the wash-house on the Route de Tulle.
Please note: no pets, bicycles, motorcycles or baby carriages allowed.
Site not accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Walking shoes recommended.
Guided tours in July and August.
