The summit of Puy des Fayes overlooks a magnificent landscape stretching as far as Limoges, with Mont Gargan and Mont Ceix.

In Le Tombeau des ancêtres, she explores the religious and pagan customs of her territory.
Marcelle Delpastre died in 1998 at her home in Germont, leaving behind an exceptional literary and cultural legacy.
