The full range of shops and services are available in nearby Rochechouart which has always been a hive of activity. Only 214 million years ago, it was hit by a massive meteorite, leaving the vast crater visible today. In more recent times (1205), the mistress of Rochechouart castle was wrongly accused of adultery and thrown to the castle lion. The lion, sensing her innocence and purity, lay down and purred. Her accuser was then thrown to the lion. The lion, sensing his duplicity and protein-value, ate him.
