Meauzac combines a long history of the church with two bodies of water and three village festivities spread throughout the year. This makes it easy to plan a stay around cultural history, fishing, walks or a festival date. Topics range from historical milestones at Église Saint-Martin to fishing and waterside walks.

Church, Street Layout and Built Heritage

Église Saint-Martin reaches far back into Meauzac’s history. In 783, Agarnus, Bishop of Cahors, gave the church to Abbot Hermeninus and the monks of Moissac. In the 12th century, it was elevated to a priory. Later periods of artistic work are also dated: in 1872, Louis Cazottes decorated the choir with five murals; in 1923, Abbé Léris added to the decoration of the nave. The donation and its status as a priory relate to the church’s development, while the later dates refer to two different areas of its decoration. The dates therefore span from an early medieval donation to artistic work in the 20th century.

Another historical landmark is the Chemin Moissagais, a Roman road that crossed Meauzac along the present-day road called Boutounelle. The built heritage also includes Château du Pech and its surrounding estate. The road’s route and the château with its estate add further aspects of local history to the church-related themes.

Two Bodies of Water, Different Attractions

The Plan d’eau de Meauzac covers 2.3 hectares and is four metres deep. A second-category fishing water, it is home to largemouth bass, perch, carp, roach and crayfish. No-kill rules apply, requiring all catches to be released; picnic tables are also available. Fishing regulations can change, so check the current rules before fishing.

Lac de Réjus in Meauzac is also a second-category fishing water and has trout. It is suitable for walks, and picnic tables and a shelter are available. The Ruisseau Bernon runs alongside part of the lake.

The different attractions can help you choose between the two waters: the Plan d’eau is notable for its size, fish population and catch-and-release fishing; Lac de Réjus also offers walks and a shelter.

Festive Occasions and Seasonal Cuisine

Village festivities take place in Meauzac three times a year, around Easter, 14 July and 11 November. These occasions fall in spring, summer and autumn, offering different opportunities to plan a trip. Easter is a moveable feast, while the other two dates are fixed calendar days. If you are planning a trip around Easter, be sure to check the date for that year.

At Bistrô Chez Marco in Meauzac, you can enjoy homemade cuisine prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Check whether the bistrô is open before visiting.
