The village of Saint Christol d'Albion

Not fortified, the village was attacked twice throughout its history. While strolling through its streets, you'll spot remnants of the 13th-century castle, a house with a bell-tower chimney dating back to 1792 on the Place de la Poste, and, of course, the Notre Dame and Saint Christopher Church from the 12th century, which is listed as a Historic Monument.

A 2.5 km signposted karstic circular walk explores one of the village's special features: the cave entrances. Ideal for families, educational signs along the route explain the formation of the sinkholes, speleology, and the region's geology.

Another remarkable site is the Marceau Constantin Museum, which houses over 200 works by the Saint Christol born artist. The collection is remarkable both for the variety of techniques used and the diversity of subjects explored.

The traditional agricultural “Lamb and Ram Fair”, dedicated to the local breed of sheep, is held on the first Sunday of August and has been for over 64 years.
