Issigeac, aux confins de la Dordogne et du Lot-et-Garonne, est une cité médiévale qui fait l’exception au milieu de toutes les bastides avoisinantes, fondées au XIIIe siècle.
Au cœur de son ancienne enceinte circulaire où les ruelles s’enroulent comme un escargot, on découvre un village de caractère où les ruelles, venelles ressuscitent le passé.
Un village avec beaucoup d’histoire.
Le village d’Issigeac est beaucoup plus ancien car il a succédé à une villa gallo-romaine (fin du IIIe et Ive siècles) puis à un monastère. L’abbé du monastère était le seigneur d’Issigeac possédant pouvoir spirituel et pouvoir temporel. Une assemblée de prud’hommes et un bailli représentaient les habitants du bourg.
Issigeac était un bourg à coutume. La coutume définissait les droits et les devoirs des habitants. C’était donc la loi. La coutume, d’abord orale, transcrite en 1298 sous l’abbé Barrière, est à la Bibliothèque Nationale dans les fonds Péri-gord.
En 1317 le pape créa l’évêché de Sarlat dont dépendait Issigeac. Les évêques de Sarlat sollicitèrent du pape la seigneurie d’Issigeac, qui leur fut accordée. Ce fut la disparition de l’abbaye.
Malgré ses importants remparts le bourg fut détruit, deux fois. Une première fois en 1300 par le Seigneur de Bergerac, Renaud de Pons. Une seconde fois en 1437 par les Soudards de Charles VII, commandés par Rodriguez de Villandrando.
L’église et le village seront reconstruits, et si les bases des maisons de pierre sont du XIIIe siècle les parties supérieures sont du XVe.

This is the most important region of France for tourism outside of Paris (which really doesn't represent France). One of the annual tourist attractions is a "mediaeval itinerance" (is that an English word?). This is a mediaeval fair which does the rounds of some of the mediaeval towns and villages for a weekend each. In 2011 the season ended up at Issigeac. The central theme was mediaeval games, putting children at its heart.
Rather than show the architecture of this beautiful village southwest of Bergerac, this set concentrates on people - candid shots of men, women, girls, boys, and even babies.

Ancient medieval architecture and many half timbered houses, most of them are original and well maintained.

Issigeac - History
Issigeac - a picturesque small village with many 13th to 15th century medieval timbered houses circling a church and a 17th century Bishop's Palace. The weekly market and brocante market is very popular with a nice variety of products and goods. Also, enjoy the local restaurants, it will sure make your visit complete. This village should be listed as one of the "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France" because it's exactly that type of a nice quaint French villages to visit.
