The fleur-de-lis (French for "lily flower") is a stylized emblem or device that has been used as a decorative motif in European art and architecture for centuries. It is particularly associated with the French monarchy and has been used as the royal symbol of France since the 12th century.
The fleur-de-lis is typically depicted as a stylized lily with three petals that are bound together at the base. The petals are often shown as being bent or curved, and they may be decorated with fleurons (small stylized flowers). Some have seen it as a symbol of purity, innocence, and the Virgin Mary. Others have seen it as a symbol of royalty, power, and authority. It has also been interpreted as a symbol of the Trinity, the three estates of feudal society, and the three branches of government.
The fleur-de-lis is still used as a symbol of France today. It can be found on the French flag, the French coat of arms, and on many French government buildings and institutions.

Everyone chooses a place to live, a place that suits the resident. In architecture, it is valuable for each residential location to have the opportunity to give it its own unique identity. The variety of facades with doors, windows, balconies, gardens and more gives every house its own appearance. Together this forms a map of the community that is recognizable to everyone.
In modern architecture with sleek, especially repetitive housings, everyone seems equal. But the community then loses color, the unique character of the residents is then almost invisible. Residents express this indoors, which is rarely visible to everyone. It creates a multitude of closedness in a place where we should be able to live together happily and healthily.

The weekly market at the Place de Cornieres, with many stalls selling local goods at the 13th-century village square. The square has always been a place of commerce and trade, in a way so little has changed in time. The market is not that crowded at all, an excellent moment to enjoy a nice French market and lots of local grown or produced products for sale.

These Gabare were in history flat-bottomed boats, used to transport all types of goods along the river. This came to and end with the introduction of railroads and the use of many bridges and roads. These old bridges are still there at regular intervals along the river.
Modern Gabares offer a nice tour at the Dordogne river, the many views at castles and villages are priceless.
