The Caudeau , a right tributary of the Dordogne, crosses the territory of the commune, as does its tributary, the Louyre, with its tributaries, the Ruisseau de Barbeyrol and the Sérouze.
history
The area has been populated since the Neolithic , as evidenced by a dolmen called Roc Leva , which was destroyed around 1835 and the material was then used for paving stones. Traces of the Roman road from today's Lyon to Bordeaux are still visible in Liorac today. Fragments of roof tiles and amphorae have been found near it. In the Middle Ages the Maltese settled in Liorac and the village was under one of their commanderies . The bell tower above the vestibule and the choir of the church are traces of their presence . A paw cross that can be seen in a corner of the village is further evidence. Due to the existing sand pits, the extraction of sandstone was an important economic factor for the community until the 20th century . The stone blocks were shipped across rivers to Bordeaux.
In 1967 the previous name of the municipality, Liorac , was expanded to Liorac-sur-Louyre .
