the most ancient church in the Périgord
- is surrounded by a merovingian period cemetery, just under the great plane trees providing shade round the church. Vicq, as a toponym, prooves a strong roman foundation, as shown with gallo-roman rubbles reused from an antic sanctuary, to build a church in the ninth century. During the XIIth century, pilgrims invoking Saint Front came to recover from leper.
