HAMEAU DU FALISSON

The hamlet of Falisson has been known since 1307. Located in the most arid part of the Causse de Sauveterre, it comprises two main groups of farms.

One of the farm buildings dates back to the 17th century, as indicated by the shape of the bays and, above all, the quality of the grey limestone.

The hamlet's main source of income was sheep farming.

Its water supply comes from a well said to be Gallo-Roman, but the building protecting it dates from 1922.

This well was also used to water the animals, hence the presence of a drinking trough and a rectangular lavogne (a space built to hold water).

Since at least 1687, the inhabitants have owned a bread oven, which still exists today.

The church, built with the help of a local subscription between 1882 and 1895, is located halfway between the two groups of farms and is therefore isolated, which is quite original.
