Chapelle Saint-Vincent
A chapel near which the first village may have stood
The story
The Saint-Vincent chapel was built in the eleventh or twelfth century. There was once a priory here, a small monastery. Some think the first village of Gourdon stood next to the chapel, and only later did people move up onto the cliff. The name Gourdon first appears in 1035. From the chapel a narrow road leads back to the village and the parking area.
