In the heart of a small green valley where the "Coly" flows, discover this village with yellow stones whose main curiosity is the fortified church.
The first sanctuary dates from the 6th century, built on the tomb of "Saint-Amant" who came here to evangelize the region with Saint-Cyprien and Saint-Sour.
Visit of course the church (and its remarkable keep tower) which became a fortress during the English wars, its elaborate defenses enabled it in particular to resist in 1575 the soldiers of the seneschal of Périgord.
