A new way to discover our villages

The adventures of Guilhem, your guide to Saint-Sever

A unique experience: 

Guilhem, a young monk from the eleventh century

If you want to visit Saint-Sever but there are no guides available, or if you want to be independent without missing out on the essential sights... or if you are with your children and you want to keep them interested...

Guilhem, our young monk from the eleventh century, will be happy to accompany you through our lovely city. Yes, you read that right! A young novice from the Middle Ages will take you on a guided tour of the city! Through 15 videos, our little hero will lead you on an amazing adventure! A fabulous creature from the illuminations of the priceless Beatus de Saint-Sever manuscript has escaped. You have to go looking for it in different places and through different ages, the City, the Abbey Church with 3D view, the maison Sentex, the arena of Morlanne, the Jacobin convent... this is how you'll discover all the treasures of the town!

The amazing story of Saint-Sever is for all ages although as ever with these things, adults unaccompanied by children will feel patronised and out of place.

Your tour

How it works

• If you have your own smartphone or tablet, simply flash the QR codes that you'll see around the city at each signpost near the monuments, and the appropriate video will play.
• If you do not have connected hardware, we rent iPad tablets for a period of about one and a half hours for 5 € (deposit required). The videos will guide you. They are downloaded to the tablet and you simple slide from one video to another. A city map locates you, and you'll get tips for handling the tablet. The ideal solution for anyone who wants to get carried away by our history, and it is very easy to use.

Even if you're not here!

You can visit Saint-Sever from your couch while you're waiting for your holiday to come round, when you can enjoy the real warmth of our old stones!

Simply go to the Youtube channel run by our Tourist Office to watch the whole "Journey of Guilhem" Available in French and English.
