Visit Condat-sur-Vezere

Condat-sur-Vezere is 8 km to the west of Terrasson.

Condat sur Vezere is just 8km from the lovely town of Terrasson but before rushing back to the main tourist circuit of Montignac, Le Bugue, Lascaux etc there are a few very small but pretty villages you might want to stop at. Condat sur Vezere is one of them, Plazac is another.

On the edge of the main square of Condat-sur-Vezere the tiny river Coly drops down to the River Vezere forming a pretty little water cascade as it does so. The force of the water here was once used to drive the moulin (mill) on the edge of the water.

The village has been home to the Gaulois, the Romans and also the Templars. Wandering round the village you can see vestiges of its past.

The church dates back to the 16th century and is a fortified church, an important part of the villages defences during the constant wars which once ravaged this region.

There is a nice looking restaurant on the other side of the church if you are looking for refreshments.
