Cantillac , Occitan Cantilhac , is a former French community with 189 inhabitants (at January 1, 2017) of the North department Dordogne in the region Nouvelle-Aquitaine . It was a border municipality to the Périgord-Limousin Regional Nature Park .
etymology
Cantillac, Occitan Cantilhac , is derived from the Roman proper name Quintilius and the final syllable -acum (property, domain of ...).
geography
Cantillac is four kilometers north of Brantôme and 15 kilometers south of Nontron (as the crow flies).

In addition to the town center, the place is made up of the following hamlets and farms:
Grand Lac , La Clède , La Gaillardie , La Plagne , Le Bas Puy , Le Bouchet , Le Haut Puy , Les Bourgougnoux , Les Bouriaux , Maison Neuve , Margnac , Puybertro , Puycervier , Puyfauchard and Saint-Michel .
The southeast corner of the local area touches the Libourny , a right tributary of the Dronne , which drains to the south . The Ruisseau du Pré Pinson , a left branch of the Boulou , rises about 1 km north of the town center on Mont Saint-Jean ; in the local area of La Gonterie-Boulouneix it is then referred to as Ruisseau le Belaygue .
The topographically deepest point in Cantillac at 124 meters above sea level is on Libourny in the southeast corner, the highest point at 233 meters is north of Le Haut Puy in the northeast. The absolute height difference is 109 meters.
geology
Cantillac lies entirely on the shallow sediments of the northern Aquitaine Basin . Structurally, the layer formation belongs to the south wing of the Combiers-Saint-Crépin-de-Richemont-Synklinale . The oldest open formation is the Coniacium . Its hard fossil limestone is exposed on the southeast corner of the local area. Above the Coniacium follows the Untersanton with flat, gray limestone containing glaconite. It stretches in a band from Puybertro via Saint-Michel and Les Bouriaux to the eastern border. The following Obersanton already occupies topographically higher positions and frames the town center in the east and south. It consists of limestone marls containing oyster shells , silty limestone containing glaconite and sands or sandstones . The series is rounded off by the gray-white chalk limestone of the lower campan . The lower camp can be found in the stratigraphically highest position on the high elevations around the town center and near the hamlet of Puyfauchard .
In the Old Tertiary, river systems transgressed via the Mesozoic strata , which originated in the protruding Massif Central near Nontron and poured south-west into the Aquitaine Basin. This is gravel and gravel, which in places may have solidified to form conglomerates (formation HF - to be seen along the D 675 near Margnac and on the north-western border to Saint-Crépin-de-Richemont). In the course of the Pleistocene glaciations there were very strong colluvial processes, which processed and relocated the ancient tertiary continental sediments. As a result, most of the slopes below the HF formation are now covered by the resulting shell sediments (formations AC and ACF ). In the floodplains of Libourny and Ruisseau du Pré Pinson there are recent river sediments from the Holocene .
The Mareuil fault passes directly below the town center . This east-southeast trending fault forms part of the Mareuil anticline . There was an offset of around 20 meters on it, which pressed out the southern half of the stratification compared to the northern part. In parallel to this, another disturbance with the same sense of movement but a significantly lower displacement amount runs in the northern part of the place. In the Cantillac area, the strata of the interior of the basin was raised like a staircase compared to the northern edge (distant effects of the Pyrenees orogenesis on the northern edge of Aquitaine).
At Margnac , pitches in the HF formation used to be mined as raw material for a now closed brick factory .
history
The oldest surviving structure in Cantillac is the Romanesque church from the 12th century. In the 13th century the place was mentioned as Quentilhacum , in the following 14th century as Cantilhacum . On the Cassini map from 1756 to 1789 the place is listed as Quentillac .
The decree of November 6, 2018, with effect from January 1, 2019, incorporated Cantillac as a Commune déléguée together with the former municipalities of Brantôme en Périgord , Eyvirat , La Gonterie-Boulouneix , Saint-Crépin-de-Richemont , Sencenac-Puy- de-Fourches and Valeuil for the new Commune nouvelle Brantôme en Périgord .
Population development
After records began, the number of inhabitants rose to a high of around 400 in the middle of the 19th century. In the period that followed, a phase of stagnation set in, which caused the number of inhabitants to fall to around 150 by the 1990s with short recovery phases before a period of moderate growth set in.

Transport links
Cantillac lies at the intersection of the two main traffic arteries, D 939 ( Périgueux - Brantôme - Angoulême ) and D 675 (Brantôme - Nontron). The town center can be reached from the D 675 via a municipal road, which branches off to the right at Maison Neuve in the north, crosses the town center and then in the south after Les Bourgougnoux turns back onto the D 675. A municipal road runs south of the town center in an east-west direction. It enables a cross connection between the two main arteries, and it continues in the east as the D 82 to Champagnac-de-Belair.
