Le Fleix commune is rich in history, tourist attractions and the art of fine living:

What to See
The chateau Métairie: an old farm (held on a share-cropping agreement) situated by the stables of the second chateau.

The Second chateau was built in the early seventeenth century for Fréderic de Foix (grandson of the Marquis de Trans) but was largely destroyed during the Revolution. The east wing was originally three times longer than it is today. Only the principle pavilion - the Protestant Church since 1805 - exists in its entirety having been restored in 1899.

The Fortifications: the Old chateau Walls (date unknown). The feudal castle must once have covered the sites known as ‘La Mouthe’ and ‘chateau Vieux’ and been protected by the Dordogne River and the Patiole, Souleillou and Bicq streams.
The Marquis de Trans, a member of the Foix-Grailly family, hosted in this chateau, the meeting between Henry of Navarre and the Duke of Anjou (brother of Henry III, King of France) which resulted in 1580 in the Paix de Fleix (the Fleix peace treaty ) and put an end the seventh War of Religion (the document is at the National Institute of France, Paris). The castle still existed when an inventory of the Marquis’ possessions was drawn up at his death in 1591.

What Else to See
The house known as Catherine de Medicis’, the Old Mill, the feudal court, the three iron cannons, the quayside pottery works, the town pottery works, the Mignon Viaduct, Fleix Port quay, the wrought iron rail leading down to the river (to get the ferry in the days before the bridge) the reinforced cement bridge, the wash-house and the « Tumulus ».
