Tips from the Community
The dam dates from the mid-twentieth century, a period when France invested massively in hydro-technical infrastructure to support the agricultural development of Aquitaine. Although not as monumental as the Grand Canal de Garonne, the Tuilières dam reflects the commitment of the time to responsibly utilize river resources. Over the decades, it has become a vital link in the local ecosystem, serving farmers and wildlife alike.

The Lalinde Canal is a 15 km long side canal to the Dordogne, in front of Bergerac. It was designed to bypass the dangerous rapids of the Dordogne, such as those of the Grand Thoret, the Gratusse and the Gratussou, which made it difficult to navigate between the Singular of Tremolat and Bergerac. These natural obstacles, combined with the private facilities (fishing, mills) of the inhabitants, motivated the creation of an alternative waterway.

Villamblard is a village with a rich past spanning over 2,000 years, with traces of occupation dating back to prehistoric times and a proven Gallo-Roman presence. The jewel of the village is undoubtedly the 12th-century Château de Barrière, whose ruins bear witness to a turbulent past marked by medieval and religious wars. This castle was the home of Count Wilgrin de Taillefer, a passionate historian who played a key role in promoting the heritage of the Périgord. Villamblard was also an important stop on the road from Bergerac to Périgueux, at the heart of historical routes such as the Santiago de Compostela route.
