The red sandstone town of Marcillac is surrounded by vineyard slopes, and set in a lush valley between red hills. Wine made Marcillac’s fortune and there is still plenty of AOC wine being produced today. Visit the wine-coloured jetties (15th-16th-century) with their open-work cellar doors, the Gothic Church (14th-15th-century) containing three altar-pieces, and the Chapel of Penitents (17th-century), with its round belfry and colourful, 19th-century wall-paintings.
