EGLISE DE LA CURE

In the extreme south-east of Lozère, the commune of Saint-Martin de Boubaux occupies a large part of the Galeizon valley. The former Cure de Saint-Martin-de-Boubaux, slightly eccentric from the main village, enjoys an elevated position on a promontory. The Cure's built heritage consists of a church/presbytery/school triptych and a sunken shed.
