Orcival is a village in a pretty location in the Sioulot Valley about 25km west of Clermont-Ferrand.

The village itself is pleasant and worth an explore, with a couple of small shops, bars and cafes. There are a couple of old towers and other features that will catch your attention.

The reason people visit Orcival is for the church in the centre of the village - renowned as being one of the five fine roman churches in the Auvergne (with those at Clermont-Ferrand, Issoire, Saint-Nectaire and Saint-Saturnin).

The exterior is perfectly proportioned, and inside the church there is a fine early carving of the Virgin - held in very high esteem and said to have been carved by Saint Luke.

The chuch became a pilgrimage point for ex-prisoners in particular, and various old handcuffs and balls and chains can be seen in the church.

Another highlight close to Orcival is the Chateau de Cordès, dating from the 12th - 17th centuries and also featuring impressive French-style gardens designed by the renowned La Nôtre in 1695 (limited opening, May-September certain days and times only).
