TOWN PRESENTATION

Village sheltered from cold winds by wooded hills, situated on the borders of Quercy and the Perigord Agen.

Former Gallo-Roman Duravel, then called Diolindum was founded by a Roman military station on the main strategic route from Bordeaux to Lyon. (Unfortunately, the vestiges of that time have disappeared during the wars of religion of 1596.)

In the 11th century, Duravel has a priory of Moissac abbey founded by Clovis and restored by Charlemagne. The bodies of three saints from Palestine and Egypt, Hilarion, and Agathon Poemon, are brought. They are still in the church where since the 12th century, they are the object of pilgrimage, and every five years, a festival of ostentation.

1369, "War of 100 years," Duravel is contested by the British under the command of Robert Knowles. Populated town of 6,000 residents while she resisted for six weeks and finally routed the attackers. In gratitude, the king granted him a coat of arms: Gules, a golden crown closed, the chief azure charged with three fleurs-de-Lis Gold.
