The hamlet of Saint-Avit boasts a remarkable architectural ensemble. The Romanesque church and small cemetery stand alongside the supposed birthplace of Bernard Palissy. There, you'll discover a rich collection of works by the greatest ceramists of our time.

Now in ruins, the Château de Gavaudun owes its particularity to the elongated rock on which it was built in the 12th century. Nearby, the châteaux of Biron and Bonaguil invite you to take a beautiful bike ride to discover the region's heritage.
