Discover Pérignac: Church, Château de Lerse and Events

Pérignac is home to the Église Saint-Gervais - Saint-Protais, a Romanesque church dating from the 12th century; it has been classified as a Monument historique since 21 September 1907.

Culture and History

The history of the village also includes the Aumônerie: it was a former relay and stopping point for pilgrims on the Way of St. James. For a thematic approach, sacred architecture and pilgrimage history can be considered as two separate historical perspectives. Those who prefer to organise cultural impressions by topic can read both references separately without combining them into a single theme of the village.

Landscape

The Château de Lerse dates from the 15th and 16th centuries. It is located in the southern part of the municipality of Pérignac and overlooks the Arce valley. Those wishing to combine architecture with its landscape setting can consider the construction period, the municipality's location and the valley area as separate points of focus alongside one another. The specific location description adds a geographical dimension to the historical perspective on the Château de Lerse.

Activities

Corps et ânes can organise a 5 km circular route with donkey accompaniment within the municipality of Pérignac. The stated length makes the circular route a distinct planning component. Those who do not wish to combine activity and culture into a single focus can organise these topics separately for their personal day or travel planning. The donkey accompaniment identifies a clearly defined form of the circular route.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Pérignac, you can use travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions as personal points of comparison. This information helps adapt the practical part of planning to your calendar and travel plans, while keeping the desired local and event-related topics separate. Cultural visits, the view of the Château de Lerse, the 5 km circular route and the events in June and August can be kept side by side as different areas of focus in your own planning. This keeps the choice of travel dates connected with the desired local and event-related topics without mixing these subjects, and allows the respective details to be assessed separately.

Annual Calendar
