Lacapelle-Biron

Highlight • Settlement

This tiny village of Lacapelle-Biron would be the presumed birthplace of Bernard Palissy who belonged to the French Renaissance school. To pay homage to the child of the country, takes place every summer at the Bernard Palissy museum an exhibition of ceramics.

Gavaudun Castle

Highlight • Castle

Gavaudun Castle sits atop a forty meter high rocky outcrop which dominates the valley and must have been an ominous sight to any would-be invader. The castle was one of the last French fortresses during the 100 years war.
