Issigeac on market day, France
40 years in the building, the church of Saint- Felicien with its octagonal tower was completed in 1527.
Issigeac (French: [i.si.ʒak]) is a small medieval village that dates back to Roman times, located in the Périgord and is approximately 20 km (12 mi) southwest of Bergerac in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France. It is a commune of the Dordogne department.
A village with roots in antiquity, today it is a quaint village with timbered houses circling the church and Bishop's Palace (17th century). The village is circular in plan with most buildings of medieval half-timbered style (most are original) and still retains much of its 13th-century walls. In 1438 it was pillaged by Rodrigo de Villandrando.
The village is set in the midst of wine country, close to the famous Chateau de Monbazillac and their famous sweet dessert wines. Many other wineries can be visited including Chateau Jaubertie.
Throughout the year the village hosts a number of festivals and events and has a thriving market on Sunday mornings, where many gastronomic delights are available as well as an exceptional selection of local wines, meats, fruit and vegetables brought directly to the market by their producers.
This was taken in a little village called Issigeac which is on edge of the Dordogne area of France. There are so many of these lovely historic medieval villages with narrow cobbled streets and I could spend hours just happily meandering and exploring.

Ha rebut nombrosos encàrrecs públiques. Un parell d'ells provenen de l'alcalde de Nîmes Jean Bousquet, que vol enllaçar el passat amb la modernitat, i realitza en els anys 1980 dues fonts a Nîmes. La primera, de 1987, s'instal·la a prop del mercat i s'inspira en un cocodril de la heràldica de Nîmes. En 1989, la segona, que es troba a la Place d'Assas, i erigeix dues fonts monumentals amb les estàtues de Nemausus i Nemausa, els fundadors de la ciutat de Nîmes.

Legends tell, that Issigeac developed around a Benedictine monastery established by Saint Cybard. A convent dedicated to Saint Peter existed here indeed from the 7th century on.
Pope Eugene III mentioned the convent around 1053. It was obviously connected to the abbey in Sarlat. In 1317 a bishopric was established in Sarlat, but the first bishop claimed, that the revenues are not sufficient to meet the episcopal duties. So he asked Pope John XXII to add the deanery of Issigeac with all the income to the see of Sarlat. The Pope agreed.
In 1437 Issigeac was taken from the English by the French. In 1482 the Bishop of Sarlat chased the monks out of the monastery and established canons here. Around that time the reconstruction of the church seen today started. The completion of the church, that replaced the Romanesque priory, lasted for about 40 years. During the Wars of Religion, the Protestants set fire and partially demolished the church, but the Bishop of Sarlat had it rebuilt.
Issigeac is a small medieval village that dates back to roman times, located in the Périgord and is approximately 20 km (12 mi) southwest of Bergerac in Aquitaine.

Maison à encorbellement à Issigeac dans le département de la Dordogne.
Employé durant l'époque médiévale française, l'encorbellement permet de réaliser plus facilement des voûtes et d'avancer chaque étage supérieur par rapport à l'étage inférieur. Ainsi, les maisons peuvent donner l'impression d' avancer sur la rue, car chaque étage est plus grand.
