beautiful bridge

This former chapel has the last windows, designed by Chagall. These windows were commissioned by Mr. de Lasteyrie du Saillant, (owner of the 15th century castle, not visited). The stained glass windows (including so famously blue) represent the East: Creation and West: Two bouquets symbolize love. The windows of the nave are representative grisailles fieldwork in Salient sublimated by their symbolic symbol of the Eucharist through the harvest, wine through the harvest, the Shepherd and Servant through Christ's sheep through the fishery. Access to the chapel is open from 9am to 6pm.

A royal villa under the Merovingians, the land of the Saillant - Orbaciacus - was then a vassal of the Church, dependent in the 9th century on the abbey of Beaulieu and from the 11th century on the bishop of Limoges. The rectangular construction from the 15th century includes the remains of a primitive keep and was originally supposed to be enclosed by corner towers. The powerful stone corbels supporting the roof overhang come from the old machicolations whose upper part has been amputated and adapted to their new role. The cellars preserve remains of the primitive keep with openings in a slightly broken arch or semicircular. On the ground floor there is a monumental fireplace in the hall, the hood of which is decorated with murals.

The village and its old noble houses dominated by the imposing remains of the castle constitute a picturesque whole which makes it one of the most beautiful villages in France. Nestled in a loop of the Auvézère and protected by a rocky outcrop, Ségur is, as the toponymy indicates, a 'safe place'. From the 9th century, the construction of a castle gave it its vocation as a stronghold. The construction of two bridges, in the 13th century, allows the extension of the village on the other bank upstream and downstream of the large loop. Until 1750, Ségur was the seat of a court of appeals which received appeals from 361 seigneurial courts. Its architectural richness owes a lot to the many robins (people of dress) attracted to this courtyard.
