Visit the parish church of Clairac, former abbey church in Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens.
The old abbey church of Clairac (from the 12th century, rebuilt in the 17th century), which became a parish church under the patronage of Saint Peter, has an unusual history. It is united with the Basilica of St John Lateran in Rome since Henry IV. The future king of France, as a pledge of his conversion to Catholicism, gave the pope the income of the rich abbey of Clairac. The kings of France and the presidents of the French Republic can still claim, today, the title of honorary canon of Saint-Jean-de-lateran.
