Saint Peter and Saint Paul's Church in Pickering by Beausoleil
Saint Peter and Saint Paul's church contains one of the most complete sets of medieval wall paintings in Britain. They were probably first commissioned in 1450 and were painted in the following decade. The paintings depict Saint George slaying the dragon, Saint Christopher carrying the Christ-child, the beheading of John the Baptist, the coronation of the Virgin Mary, the martyrdom of Saint Edmund, the martyrdom of Saint Thomas Becket, the legend of Catherine of Alexandria, the seven Corporal Acts of Mercy, the Passion and Crucifixion of Christ, the Descent into Hell and Christ's Resurrection and Ascension. There is a lot of information about the paintings in the guide book, available in Church. Check the web site to be sure the church is open when you will be there.

Eglise Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption also called Notre-Dame de Montcuq by Beausoleil
Eglise Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption also called Notre-Dame de Montcuq is on Google maps as Parish Our Lady of Capelou and is part of that parish but is named as above. The second name is the more historic one. The frescoes inside are amazing. While it is not in Old Town, it is definitely worth the walk (or drive) to visit.

Chapelle St. Michel - Fresco by Beausoleil
Rocamadour is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has also been a pilgrimage site on the 'Way of Saint James" for hundreds of years. It exists on three levels climbing a near vertical cliff. There is an elevator from level 1 to level 2 and an escalator to the top. You may climb 216 steps from level 1 to level 2 (on your knees if you are a pilgrim) and there is a beautiful "Way of the Cross" from level 2 to the top. If you look up and to the right, you see the Sword of Roland thrust into the cliff face.

Eglise St. Peter in Mollégès by Beausoleil
One of the oddest interiors we've seen in France. The painting behind the altar is a very modern, (very lavender) almost tropical mural having not much to do with religion. It's interesting but seems out of place in the old church.

The Château at Castelnaud-la-Chapelle by Beausoleil
This is a marvelous restored château that holds a fun museum of medieval warfare. If you are there in summer, you can see the ancient war machines in use. They also figure in one of the Inspector Bruno novels by Martin Walker that are so much fun.
