I "discovered" Gargilesse in June 2007, hiking the Via Lemovizenis, which starts in Vezelay. I had stayed in the "Hôtel des Artistes", as it offered an affordable room for the "pelerin". Meanwhile, I had returned a couple of times. The hotel had changed hands, but it is still worth a detour - especially for the restaurant. Bavette à l'échalote

Hugues de Naillac, Lord of Gargilesse, returned from a crusade and brought back a statue of the Virgin, whose beneficent protection would have been proven during the fighting. He built for her the church, which is today the parish church of Gargilesse. I "discovered" the wonderful village of Gargilesse in June 2007, hiking the Via Lemovizenis, which starts in Vezelay.
