La Chapelle-Faucher , Occitan la Chapela Fouchier , is a French municipality with 414 inhabitants (at January 1, 2017) in the north of the department Dordogne in the region Nouvelle-Aquitaine .
etymology
La Chapelle-Faucher, in Occitan La Chapela Fouchier , is derived from chapel (la chapela) and the Germanic proper name Fulkhari (Volker?), Latinized Fulchurius .
geography
La Chapelle-Faucher is eight kilometers east of Brantôme en Périgord and 14 kilometers west-southwest of Thiviers (beeline). The municipality is surrounded by the following neighboring municipalities:
- Villars in the north
- Saint-Pierre-de-Côle to the east
- Saint-Front-d'Alemps to the southeast
- Brantôme en Périgord in the southwest
- Condat-sur-Trincou to the west and
- Champagnac-de-Belair in the northwest.
In addition to the town center, the community is made up of the following hamlets, farmsteads and castles:
Bois du Juge , Château Boslaurent , Château de Lasfond , Croix de la Garenne , Faureille , La Croix , La Guyaunie , La Mothe , La Rolphie , La Sizardie , Las Fons , Laurendie , Le Petit Merle , Les Giroux , Les Nègreries , Les Pelades , Merle , Petit-Jumilhac (or Jumilhac-le-Petit), Pierre Brune , Puydouillou , Puymartin , Puyroudier , Rochecaille , Rochevideau , Saint-Georges , Tana and Tierchateau .
The municipality of La-Chapelle-Faucher is traversed by the Côle roughly in the middle in an east-west direction . The northern border with Villars is formed by a dry valley also facing west , which flows into the Trincou on the left at Lardailler (municipality of Champagnac-de-Belair) . Only dry valleys open towards the Côle, all of which are more or less oriented north-south: on the right, a dry valley that forms the eastern border with Saint-Pierre-de-Côle, and a small dry valley near Rochecaille ; on the left the dry valleys at Saint-Georges , Pierre Brune and Rochevideau .
The topographically lowest point in the municipality with 114 meters above sea level is at La Croix on the Côle, which leaves the municipality here. The highest point at 213 meters is near Tana on the border in the northeast. The absolute height difference is 99 meters.
geology
The integrity of the municipal area of La Chapelle-Faucher lies on flat (maximum angle of incidence up to 10 °) sediments of the northern Aquitaine basin . The layer sequence begins with the bulbous to flat chalk limestone of the Ligériens ( Unterturon ). You stand on the left side of the valley of the Côle and also follow the dry valleys that flow south at Saint-Georges , Pierre Brune and Rochevideau . Above that follow the Rudist limestone of Angoumia . You can find them on both sides of the Côle, on both sides of the three dry valleys in the south, along the right-hand dry valley on the eastern border and also on the slopes of the dry valley on the northern border. Hard fossil limestone of the Coniacium lie over the Angoumien , to be seen mainly in the town center, along the small dry valley to the right near Rochecaille and on the southern border. The highest open layer member of the Upper Cretaceous is the Lower Canton on the ridge north of the town center; it consists of gray, platy limestone containing glauconite . On the ridge north of the town center there are isolated occurrences of old, partly solidified river gravel, which may extend into the Eocene (Formation HF near Petit-Jumilhac ) or the Pliocene (Formation FS near Faureille and Château Boslaurent ). A fairly large part of the slopes above the Upper Cretaceous sediments is of Colluvium covered consisting of the tertiary emerged river gravel and Pleistozän has been migrated. Similar, but much finer-grained material can be found on the three ridges in the south. Würmeiszeitlicher Kalkhangschutt filled the Trockental on the northern border, the small Trockental Rochecaille at a plurality of locations on both sides and Cole. Rift Ice Age low terraces made of boulders in a sandy-clay matrix were deposited in several places in the Côletal. The current lowland of the Côle is 500 meters wide and the river meanders with a wavelength of 1500 meters.
At Rochevideau, southwest of the town center of La Chapelle-Faucher, the foothills of the southeast-trending Mareuil fault move into the Côletal. The disturbance has generally caused the southwestern layer structure to rise. The course of the fault, which has been fairly uniform up to this point, dissolves in the municipality into several smaller faults that follow very different directions (NNW, NE, ONE and OSE), but have only minimal dislocations. This disruption of the layer structure is also noticeable in very widely scattered strike directions and angles of incidence.
It is worth mentioning the karstification of the Turon-Coniac ensemble, recognizable by the many dry valleys and the water loss of the Côle in the area of the municipality of Saint-Pierre-de-Côle. These lost seepage water reappear in the municipality of La Chapelle-Faucher ( source near Las Fons ).
history

Prehistoric traces can be found in the community of La Chapelle-Faucher at the Rochecaille site in the Côletal. In the twelfth century, the monk founded Fulchurius a chapel. A little later, the Benedictines build the priory church in the Romanesque style, subordinate to the Abbey of Charroux . In the same century, the Knights Templar built a fortified courtyard and a chapel in the Romanesque style in Jumilhac-le-Petit. The Notre-Dame-de-Puymartin priory chapel in the center, also from the twelfth century, is Gothic . In the 13th century there was still a hospitality building next to it . The Château de Lasfond in the town center also dates back to the 13th century. In 1369 La Chapelle-Faucher and the castle were owned by the Black Prince ( Richard II. ), Son of the English King Edward III. , destroyed. The castle was then at the end of the 15th century rebuilt. In 1569 Coligny had 200 Catholic farmers executed here during the Wars of Religion. During the Fronde , the castle was besieged by royal troops. In 1653, by order of the Marquis de Chabans, the fortifications were razed for reconstruction work. On the Cassini map from 1756 to 1789 the parish was still called La Chapelle Fouchet . The municipalities of Jumillac-de-Colle (Le Petit-Jumilhac) and La Chapelle-Faucher merged in 1827 to form today's municipality.

The D 3 from Villars to Agonac leads south through the center of La Chapelle-Faucher . After crossing the Côle, it meets the D 78 from Brantôme to Thiviers, which accompanies the Côle on the left. The hamlet of Petit-Jumilhac and then the D 68 can be reached via two municipal roads . The D 68 from Villars to Saint-Pierre-de-Côle more or less follows the eastern border of the municipality. A municipal road runs from the town center on the right side of the valley to La Croix , where it connects to the Condat-sur-Trincou route to Eyvirat / Agonac. At Rochevideau there is also a junction from the D 78 to Eyvirat / Agonac in the south.
