This 12th century monastery, seen in the distance, is one of the Grandmontine monasteries, an order founded by Étienne of Thiers (1046–1124 and named after Grandmont, a place in Haute Vienne. Today this place is taken care of by "Les Amis du Prieure Saint Michel de Grandmont" and the "ami" I met now was very friendly and even stamped my "credencial". I had been here some years ago, but the person who was in charge by that time did not let me in. Near the priory are some outstanding menhirs. www.prieure-grandmont.fr/
