THE HAMLET OF SAINT-AVIT
Go there and contact
In Lacapelle-Biron, a splendid medieval hamlet with traditional stone houses and a beautiful Romanesque church.
The hamlet of Saint-Avit is surprising: one wonders how this small village, a remarkable architectural example of the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance, has been able to survive the centuries with so few ugly wrinkles. Isolation and natural protection of the valley? The ochre color of the stones of the houses, around the only street, must hold your attention, as well as its charming small church. In August, a big pottery fair is held there. The birthplace of Bernard Palissy, a famous 16th century ceramist, is said to be in this hamlet.
