Abstract: [eng] Abstract Cantal «terre de chrétienté». Such is the widespread cliché of one of these highlands of the Massif Central. The emergence and perpetuation of this image can no doubt be explained by the isolation and the old-fashioned way of life. This image has most certainly been reinforced by the large number of priests from the area. Yet, such an image not only conceals the fact that all throughout the 19th century, their recruitment was irregular and very disparate depending on the area, but also, that the paths leading to the door of the seminary in Saint-Flour were various. [fre] Résumé Le Cantal «terre de chrétienté». Tel est le cliché répandu de l'une de ces «hautes terres du Massif Central». L'isolement, l'archaïsme des modes de vie expliquent sans doute l'émergence et la pérennité de cette image. Assurément, le grand nombre de ses prêtres contribua à sa diffusion. Reste qu'elle masque l'irrégularité de leur recrutement durant le XIXe siècle, les nombreuses disparités locales de celui-ci et la diversité des chemins qui menaient à la porte du séminaire de Saint-Flour.
