Located on a rounded hillock, at an altitude of 268 meters, the village of Thenon was a "castrum" defensive position bounded on the west by "Fosse" today met. Occupied since prehistoric times, the territory of the commune Thenon contains several Palaeolithic, but the Gallo-Roman town that flourished.

If the existence of the parish is recorded in the Cartulary of Saint-Amand-de-Coly since 1185, over the centuries, the spelling has varied Thenon. So until the early 13th century, only Teno is usual. But since 1209, the famous troubadour Bertrand de Born wrote Thenon. As to its etymology, it seems that Teno is from a personal name Gallo-Roman Attienus or Attenus, with the suffix-onem.

The remains of the old hill fort are few. The square tower near the church, the apse of the 12th century has been preserved, should belong to the castle while thick walls can imagine this city houses nestled at the foot of the castle. Certainly this has been fortified on numerous occasions, a refuge for the people around, even if during the Hundred Years' War it was taken by the English for three and a half months.

This castle burned by the English, as evidenced by the traces of fire on the tower was many times destroyed and rebuilt. The Lordship of Thenon, first possession of the Eagle, subsequently fell to the powerful family Hautefort, these links are strengthened by alliances like that between Aymard in 1237 by Faye, son of Adhemar, seigneur de Thenon, Marguerite de Born, daughter of the troubadour. Later, John Hautefort made his will and to Thenon "ensevely was in the church Thenon before the altar of St. Anne and the Virgin Mary at the tomb of his mother, with honorable burial according to quality."

7 km from the motorway interchange A89, Thenon is a gateway to the valleys of Vézère and Auvézère, and has many tourist facilities.
