St Alvère in the Périgord :
the first truffle market
in France to have gone
on-line !



 Village spring
 

Château de la Gaubertie (private property), built in the 15th century was entirely renovated in the early 18th century. A battlemented parapet runs the length of the château’s main body which is flanked by two towers - one round, one square. A small, 16th century chapel stands a short distance from the château.

The village spring,
wrote the Abby of Brugière, is remarkable and precious for the abundance and purity of its water. It is claimed that its waters cure colic. The spring is especially visited by people of the surrounding parishes on 11th November.


St Martin’s Church

St Martin’s Church - the first mention of which dates back to 1197 - was built on the site of a Benedictine priory, St Jacques de la Vergne which was affiliated to Grande-Sauve Abbey.
According to the Abby of Brugière, the church had three bells before the Revolution, and the vault of the central nave dates back to the 16th century.
All traces of the original church have, however, disappeared in the wake of successive alterations.

Events
Village Fête in July.
St Martin’s Fête at the end of November.
