Take the time to discover the village of Journiac !
6 km from the village of Buggy, the village of Journiac is nestled in a green valley, at the gateway to the Périgord Noir and the Vézère Valley. The village is crossed by a stream and you can still admire a very beautiful wash house. It was during the Paleolithic period that the occupation of Journiac began, the Treil deposit testifies to it.
The origin of the name “Juronuis” suggests that there existed a small Gallo-Roman city. The presence of an oppidum close to the Roman road “Vésone-Cahors” confirms this origin. The 12th century saw a prosperous period allowing the construction of the church. Indeed, the oldest architectural remains (the choir) date from these centuries. (11th and 12th centuries). Each century has made its modifications: the thickness of the walls, the presence of loopholes and a defense chamber accessible by a narrow staircase, show that the church had a defensive role in the Hundred Years War.
