Fraisse is a French municipality with 172 inhabitants (at January 1, 2017) in the department of Dordogne in the region Nouvelle-Aquitaine (before 2016: Aquitaine ). The municipality belongs to the Arrondissement Bergerac and the canton Pays de la Force (until 2015: canton La Force ).

The name in the Occitan language is Fraisse , which is derived from the Latin fraxinus ( German  ash ). The municipality's coat of arms shows a Maltese cross over an ash tree , an indication that the parish's goods belonged to the Order of Malta in the 14th century .

The inhabitants are called Fraissois and Fraissoises .

The Lidoire , a right tributary of the Dordogne, crosses the territory of the municipality. The Martarieux, a tributary of the Isle , has its source in Fraisse. The Gouyne is a tributary of the Barailler and irrigates the community just like its tributary of the same name, which rises in Fraisse.

history

Stone tools , which were found in several places in the municipality, show that these places were inhabited from the Old Paleolithic to the Neolithic . Not far from Route départementale 13, a ford and a bridge yoke were found that could belong to a road route in Gallo-Roman times . The former church was built near this spot, as were most of the sites dedicated to St. Martin of Tours , who is considered the patron saint of travelers. However, these were also built on the site of former pagan places of worship. An earlier moth can be seen near a former water mill that has not been in operation since 1668. Fraisse was under the castellany of Mussidan and his seigneurs . The religious influence on the fortunes of Fraisse was considerable through the presence of the Knights Templar and, after its ban, that of the Order of Malta. During the Hundred Years War the parish had no pastor, and when Nicolas Tenent tried to take on this role in 1489, he encountered opposition from parishioners, especially when it came to the raising of the tithe . The same thing happened to Jacques Tardieu, who after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes wanted to collect this tax. Many residents had converted to Protestantism in the meantime , as the grave of the Dessaigne-Lajonie family shows. During the First Empire , a blacksmith refused to be drafted and hid in a place that was later called le Pin du Forgeron ( German for  the blacksmith's jaw ). In 1861 the local council demanded the laying of a railway line near Fraisse in order to promote important economic activities, viticulture and forestry.
