Discover Moissac

Moissac, a city at the confluence of the Tarn and Garonne rivers, is one of the most important artistic stops along the entire Way of St. James in France. Its fame comes from the Abbaye Saint-Pierre, a Romanesque art treasure declared World Heritage by UNESCO. For pilgrims, visiting Moissac is an experience of high aesthetic and spiritual order. The cloister, dating back to 1100, is considered one of the most beautiful in the world, with 76 historiated capitals of exceptional fineness. Even more impressive is the tympanum of the south portico of the church, a majestic representation of the Apocalypse that leaves breathless anyone who contemplates it. The city, crossed by the Canal of Two Seas, offers an enjoyable environment for rest, with all necessary services for the walker. It's a stage that justifies itself alone, a place to contemplate art in its maximum expression, a milestone that connects the pilgrim with faith and the genius of medieval masters.
