Points of interest
Le jardin de la lamproie
The Jardin de la Lamproie is a park designed around the themes of the river Dordogne and the mysterious lamprey. A curved path, surrounded by wetland vegetation, symbolises the river. All along the way, explanatory panels will help you appreciate this varied vegetation. Inside the Garden is the exhibition room, where live lampreys in an aquarium await your visit. There's also an information desk and a shop selling regional products.
Eglise Saint-Alexis de Sainte-Terre
This Romanesque church has a main nave and a chevet built in the 12th century. The building was listed as a historic monument by decree on 21 December 1925.
