TOWN PRESENTATION

A river, a vineyard and men ....

Upon creation of the diocese of Sarlat in 1317 by Jean 22nd, Daglan was chosen by the bishop as the first one of its archpriests 7, at the head of 18 parishes (approximately Township Domme).

In the 14th century, the parish has about 600 souls Daglan.

Virtually deserted after the Hundred Years War, Daglan knew in the 15th century, an economic renaissance. A restocking was undertaken by use of settlers for many Massif Central ensued and plantations of vines or restorations. The vineyard is in full extension from the 15th to the 18th century.

In the 18th century, the parish of Daglan exceeds 1,600 souls.

The wines are exported to the country and take the boat to port or Castelnaud Domme. At that time, the hillsides are covered with vines. This near-monoculture is maintained until the late 19th century when an epidemic of phylloxera causes great calamity on the vine, the country's wealth. A rural exodus ensues, leading to desertification of the valley.

A major advantage: the mills. 17th and 18th century, industry daglanaise is based on the driving force of the streams and tributaries Céou the Lousse and Riol. The lives of eight mills (10 in the parish of Daglan) gives an impression of intensity to the point that it is necessary to intervene authoritatively to prevent millers to work on Sundays. They are the most important witnesses to the vitality of the valley on the eve of the 19th century.

During these times of prosperity, Daglan is adorned with beautiful houses in the village and surrounding hamlets: the Peyruzel and its castle, and castle Pauliac ... Today, visitors can roam the streets and see the restored mansions, living witnesses of a past success.

Deliberately turned to the future, through their dynamism daglanais worked to establish a link between nature, tradition and the local economy resulting in the creation at the center of his village from a syndicate of initiative shared with 7, House Dry-stone and an exhibition of old tools and objects of the past, shops, childcare facilities and businesses.

Daglan is the capital of Perigord dry stone huts, and walls of cayrous; witnessed a frenzied stone removal. As for Mother Nature, she was generous ... topography is that of a vast plateau dissected by valleys Céou, the Lousse and steep-sided valleys. And, as we are affecting the landscape for millennia, it was established that ecological mosaic of cultures in the valley deep, rich soil (cereals, tobacco ...) on the set of crops dry and arid (walnuts, vines ...). As for its rich flora, hike a mile to discover a treasure within range of sight.
