The continuous population decline since the second half of the 19th century is mainly due to the phylloxera crisis in viticulture and the increasing mechanization of agriculture as well as the associated loss of jobs.
economy
For centuries, the residents of the community lived on the produce of their fields and gardens, self-sufficient ; In addition, cattle breeding, a little viticulture and the planting of chestnuts were carried out. Craftsmen, small traders and service providers settled in the village. Since the 1960s, some of the vacant houses have been used as holiday apartments ( gîtes ) .
history
It is unclear whether the place was affected during the Hundred Years War (1337–1453) or during the Huguenot Wars (1562–1598).
Attractions
- The single-nave, generally Romanesque parish church of Saint-Étienne was built in the 13th or 14th century; it was part of the Belvès priory for a long time and is still surrounded by the town's cemetery . Its façade, which is raised by a two-part bell gable, but otherwise unadorned, as well as the other outer walls - with the exception of the corner stones - are made of only slightly hewn rubble stones. The portal was later changed; there is a round window above it .
Surroundings
- About one kilometer southeast of the village is the former Chartreuse du Breuil , which was converted into a manor house in the 17th and 18th centuries . The complex is privately owned, but parts of it were added to the list of Monuments historiques in 2007.
