Location map of Bussière-Badil

Via the D 3 and the D 91 E it has connections to the D 91 passing south on the one hand, which connects Piégut-Pluviers with Montbron, and on the D 90 E 1 to the somewhat more distant D 699 in the north on the other hand, the connecting road from Saint-Mathieu to Montbron. The neighboring town of Busserolles can be reached via the D 90 .

Long-distance hiking trail

Hydrography

The Tardoire northwest of the town center

Bussière-Badil lies on the Banaret , a small left tributary of the Tardoire. Further north, the Trieux flows through the municipality, also a left tributary of the Tardoire. Banaret and Trieux drain to the west. In the north-west, the municipality reaches the Tardoire, which flows south-west, which borders the Charente department. The southern border of the municipality is marked by the Ruisseau de l'Étang d'Assat , which flows southwest and flows as Ruisseau de Varaignes as a right tributary below Varaignes into the Bandiat . The ridge in the south of Bussière-Badil thus forms the watershed between the Tardoire and Bandiat catchment areas.

geology

Metatexite from Bussière-Badil

The municipality of Bussière-Badil is essentially underlain by rocks of the Variscan basement of the northwestern Massif Central , mainly paragneiss and metatexite . At the extreme eastern edge there is also the Piégut-Pluviers-Granodiorite in its coarse-grained normal facies ( γ 3M ).

The paragneiss and metatexite generally strike northeast-southwest and dip at 30 to 70 degrees to the northwest. They show an increasing degree of metamorphosis towards the northwest. South of Bussière-Badil, the metamorphic rocks are still present as plagioclase-bearing paragneiss, but from Bussière-Badil to the northwest they increasingly contain anatectic granite lenses and must therefore be regarded as metatexites . On the north-western edge of the municipality, these lenses finally change into hectometric leukogranite ranges , which in their chemism are closely related to the Saint-Mathieu leukogranite in its medium-grain facies as Champniers-Reilhac-leukogranite ( γ 2 ) (features at Tartou and Le Trieux ). Graphite-rich slate ( gra ) also appear south of the town center as concordant lines in the paragneiss, for example below the cemetery and at La Tonnelle .

Disturbances in the basement mainly follow the north-northeast, north-northwest and northeast directions.

Below La Bourgeade , on the southern slope of the Ruisseau de l'Étang d'Assat in the extreme south of the municipality, sedimentary rocks of the Lias are exposed, which transgress here via metatexites of the basement . The latter contain a northeast trending micro -granite dike and, in its extension to the northeast along a fault zone, a small occurrence of leptynite gneiss .

The sediments belong to the sequence of layers of the Aquitaine Basin , these are layers from the Hettangian ( l 1-4 ) as well as a second transgressive cycle, which represents the period from Pliensbachian to Aalenian ( l 5-9 ) and up to about 10 meters becomes powerful. The hettangium, up to 20 meters thick, begins with a base conglomerate and coarse arcs and then takes on a dolomitic character. The Pliensbachium is a dolomitic breccia in a sandy matrix, the Toarcium consists of blue-gray marls and the Aalenium of a brown, ferrous dolomite.

The topographic ridge (watershed) south of Bussière-Badil near Les Tuilières consists in its upper section of a tertiary , alluvial rubble fan (formation HF ), which is made up of sand and gravel and transgresses over the underlying formations.

The subsequent slopes in the southwest are mostly masked by Pleistocene loose sediments ( colluvium that emerged from the tertiary rubble fan ) (formation HC ).

Post-glacial Holocene river sands with small quartz and basement rubble were deposited in the floodplains of the Tardoire and Trieux ( Fy-z formation ).

Natural park

The municipality of Bussière-Badil has been an integral part of the Périgord-Limousin Regional Nature Park since 1998 .

Protected areas

The valley of the Tardoire and its two right tributaries Trieux and Banaret are characterized by their rich flora and water quality and therefore form an ecological reserve. This is classified in French under the title Vallées du réseau hydrographique de la Tardoire et du Trieux as a continental ZNIEFF ( Zone naturelle d'interêt écologique, faunistique et floristique ) of type 1. There are almost 40 plant species, four of which are characteristic: Musk herb Adoxa moschatellina , fingered lark spur Cordyalis solida , rue mussel flowers Isopyrum thalictroides and Atlantic hare bells Hyacinthoides non-scripta .

The valley of the Ruisseau de l'Étang d'Assat in the south is also designated as a protected area under the name Vallées du réseau hydrographique du Bandiat because of its specific flora . There are more than 100 plant species listed, with large ormennig ( Agrimonia procera ) and Atlantic hare bells ( Hyacinthoides non-scripta ) as indicator plants.

history

The Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité Abbey in Bussière-Badil

The remains of a Gallo-Roman villa can be found near the hamlet of Petits Bois . In the year 768 a Benedictine priory is mentioned for the first time in the town center. The Romanesque church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité dates back to 1088 ; it was part of the existing Benedictine abbey in Bussière-Badil. In the 16th century there was also a fortified castle ( Logis de Belleville or Maison forte de Belleville ), the donjon of which has still been preserved. Two waiting areas can still be seen from the attachment.
