Peyrignac: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

The construction of the Château de la Chapoulie is traditionally dated to the English occupation in the 15th century.

The Château de la Chapoulie served as a fortress that was held alternately by French or English forces. The octagonal dovecote of the Château de la Chapoulie, together with its façades and roofs, was listed as a historic monument by decree of 12 July 1965. The château is not open to visitors.

The Église Saint-Louis combines Romanesque elements with a 19th-century façade and was almost completely rebuilt in 1857. The Église Saint-Louis in Peyrignac is classified as a historic monument.

Landscape

The Puy de Capette is located on a rocky, karstified limestone plateau offering a 360-degree panoramic view.

The Puy de Capette is a historic site that was already discovered in Roman times, as well as a viewpoint overlooking the Puys de la Roche and des Perds.

Walk

The Boucle de la Bonnelle is a short, easy circular trail in Peyrignac that is suitable for a family walk.

Wine and Everyday Life

Winegrowing in Peyrignac was almost destroyed by phylloxera, which originated in America; today, the vineyard area covers only a few hectares.

The historic vineyards of Peyrignac were cultivated for more than a century. Their grapes were used to produce wines that were known beyond the département and nearly received a controlled designation of origin.

Au Taravelou is a restaurant in Peyrignac.

Those who choose Peyrignac as their travel destination can decide to rent a holiday apartment.
