Transport links
Coming from La Coquille, the D 79 crosses the town center and continues west towards Nontron . At the northern edge of the municipality runs the D 6a (Haute-Vienne), which is referred to as D 85 in the Dordogne; it comes from the northeast of Dournazac and then moves on to Nontron. The southern part of the municipality (left side of the Dronne valley) runs through the D 82 from Mialet to Villars in a south-westerly direction . A north-south municipal road also crosses in the town center; it provides connections to the D 6a in the north and the D 82 in the south; it also enables a connection to Thiviers .
Long-distance hiking trail
The long-distance hiking trail GR 361 crosses the community roughly in the middle in a north-south direction.
Hydrography
The municipality is traversed by the Dronne roughly in the middle . The meandering river has cut up to 100 meters deep into the basement and created a gorge-like valley. The Dronne initially flows south and at the same time forms the northeast border to Mialet. After changing course to the south-west, it crosses the municipality coming from the east and passes the center of Saint-Saud-Lacoussière in the south. It maintains the southwest direction until it leaves the municipality west of Larret . On its last two kilometers it is the border river to Champs-Romain. Notable tributaries are the right-hand Ruisseau de la Bucherie and the also right-hand Ruisseau la Malencourie . The course of the latter stream extends the western border to Champs-Romain to the north. The southeast boundary of the municipality is defined by the Queue d'Ane , a right tributary of the Côle, which meanders to the south-southwest .
geology
Saint-Saud-Lacoussière lies entirely on the metamorphic basement of the north-western Massif Central . The eastern part of the municipality is traversed by the mica slate band ( ξ 1 ) of the parautochthonous mica slate unit in a north-south direction. The strike direction of the mica schist varies between northwest and north-northeast, but on average points to north-northwest. The relatively flat angle of incidence is generally 20 to 40 ° to the east-north-east, but can also take on very steep values in more closely folded mica slate stretches (in hinges). However, very strong scattering of the foliations can also be observed locally . The folds are generally West Vergent. The linear lines encountered fall flat to the south-east (scatter range east-north-east to south-south-east).
Associated with mica schists is the Saint-Mathieu leukogranite , which occurs in the western part of the municipality in its Saint-Saud facies ( γ 2M or γ 2 b-m ). In the outgoing Upper Carboniferous , the leucogranite penetrated into the contact area of the mica schist with the paragneiss ( ζ 1-2 ) that it had run over (the paragneiss are further west in the municipality of Champs-Romain). That it is an anatectic melting product of mica slate can be seen from the mica slate islands or trains carried in it (a fine example of this can be found at the school of Saint-Saud-Lacoussière). The bulk of the leukogranite ends south of the Dronne, but continues further south in an apophysis around Veyrinas and Bonnefond .
Above the mica schists - the structurally deepest unit in the Massif Central - Augengneise and Leptynite follow the lower gneiss cover of the Limousin . The augengneisses ( OC ζλ 3 b ) are at the extreme edge at Northeast Les Grafouillades just along a north-trending fault open; they also occur on the south-eastern border south of vielle Abbaye . Several persistent leptynite trains ( λ ) are also found in the mica schists near Grandcoing .
The leucogranite is interspersed with corridors of lamprophyren ( ν ), which strike mainly north to north-northeast. Also microgranite - ( microns .gamma. ) and quartz veins ( Q ) are found in leucogranite that are usually very similar oriented underline or Northwest or Northeast.
Faults in the basement usually follow typical Variscan strike directions - north-northwest, north, north-northeast and northeast,
Extensive altitudes in the municipal area are often veiled by relatively thin, colluvial alterites of the Pleistocene (Formation AC ) - worm-age sands originating from gneisses and granites as well as quartz pebbles arising from quartz lenses and veins. The valleys of the Dronne and the Queue d'Ane are filled with up to 2 meters thick alluvium from the Würm Glaciation and the Holocene (Formation K ). The debris carried along can have a diameter of 30 to 50 centimeters.
ecology
The municipality of Saint-Saud-Lacoussière is an integral part of the Périgord-Limousin Regional Natural Park .
history
In 1163 the Cistercians founded an abbey in Peyrouse , which was one of the four Cistercian abbeys in the Périgord . It is not clear whether the hamlet of Vieille Abbaye is related to this. The Romanesque local church of Saint-Saud-Lacoussière was also built in the 12th century . It contains wooden statues from the former Cistercian abbey. The Lacoussière castle , which was destroyed again during the Hundred Years War , was built around the same time . The Château de Beynac was built in the 19th century on a much older foundation.
