Maurs la Jolie
The Little Nice of Cantal
Maurs-la-Jolie is a town of 2,300 inhabitants located in the heart of the Cantal’s chestnut groves at the intersection of three departments: Lot, Cantal and Aveyron. It has the allure of a southern town with its architecture and mild climate. The Paris-Nice stage here will give everyone a chance to discover the town’s architectural riches: the Saint Caesar Abbey-Medieval City dating from the 14th century and listed as a historic monument, the agricultural lands, one of France’s 100 markets and a well-preserved natural setting that lends itself to sports and relaxation.
