The village of Lacapelle-Biron experienced dark times during the passage of the 2nd SS Das Reich armoured division in 1944. In memory of this recent period of our history, the Departmental Monument to the Deportation was erected on the village square.
Nearby, the hamlet of Saint-Avit, a remarkable architectural ensemble, deserves more than just a visit. The Romanesque church and the small cemetery are next to the supposed birthplace of Bernard Palissy. There you will discover a particularly rich collection of works by great ceramists of our time.
