One of the most striking aspects of our stroll through Junhac was the number of well maintained gardens we saw. You will also see some charming houses, a couple of them appear very grand!
Towards the lowest end of the village, the area around the church and war memorial should be part of your route through Junhac: it is nicely maintained and you pass through an arch in a stone wall to see an old houses in stone and colombage.
For the best view of the village follow the road a short distance out of Junhac, along the road that leads up the hill. You are vey quickly in pretty countryside with a lovely view across the village below you.
Commerces are limited in Junhac, but you will find a cafe and a small shop (more commerces are available at Montsalvy, a few kilometres from here). There is an old stone fountain and iron cross in front of the cafe.
