From the slope of the castle, the stone houses of the medieval town and their roofs of grey lauze slabs surround the square bell tower of Saint-Sauveur church, with the pastures of the upper Aveyron valley beyond. The church belonged to a Benedictine priory founded around the year 1000 by the lord of Sévérac; destroyed during the Wars of Religion, it was rebuilt in the 17th century and became the parish church after the Revolution.
