As its name suggests, the circuit of the two peaks will take you to the heights of Quercy Blanc.

Saint Pantaleon, physician and martyr, lived in the XNUMXrd century in Asia Minor. According to legend, he resuscitated a child bitten by a viper. This holy healer became patron of the parish, holder of the church and also gave his name to the miraculous spring which flows at the southern entrance to the village (very beautiful ensemble with fountain, washhouse and statue).
In the past, there were many pilgrims, especially on the day of the patronal feast (July 27), the source being reputed to cure “deficient” children (weak, weak), especially those who were slow to stand on their legs.
