Village de Duravel

Occitanie

Village sheltered from cold winds by wooded hills, located on the borders of Quercy, Agenais and Périgord.
Ancient Gallo-Roman city, Duravel, then called Diolindum was founded by the Romans to be a military station on the great strategic route from Bordeaux to Lyon. (Unfortunately, the remains of this time disappeared during the wars of religion of 1596.)
In the 11th century, Duravel had a priory dependent on the Abbaye de Moissac founded by Clovis and restored by Charlemagne. The bodies of three Saints from Palestine and Egypt, Hilarion, Agathon and Poemon, are brought there. They are still in the church where, since the 12th century, they have been the object of pilgrimages and, every five years, of a festival of ostension.
1369, "War of 100 years", Duravel is attacked by the English under the orders of Robert Knolles. A town then populated by 6,000 inhabitants, it resisted for six weeks and routed the attackers. As a thank-you, the king gives her a coat of arms: Of mouths, to a crow
