Culture and Local Character
Anyone wishing to rent a vacation rental in Saint-Juire-Champgillon should consider this place as a travel destination.
At the lavoir, a carved stone is set into a wall. It depicts a dragon defeated by a mounted knight.

The lavoir is also associated with a local legend: in it, Saint George defeats a dragon, after which a spring emerges.
