This small rural town located near the lake of Saint-Pardoux has a very rich past. The origin of the church dates back to the 12th century, but was rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Do not hesitate to discover the bridge with two arches on the Couze and the chapel Saint-Martin de Genouillas located in the middle of woods and heaths. At 50 meters, there is a rock with two cavities which are said to be "the steps of the mule of the saint". The pilgrims who come in devotion place their knees in the hollow of the rock to obtain healing rheumatism. In a nearby fountain, coins were thrown away so that children would not bump their ankles while walking. On the cross, the pilgrims still deposit ex-votos to attract the saint's protection on the stables. This pilgrimage, which takes place on the first Sunday of May, is one of the best known in Haute-Vienne. Every year, on the 15th of August, there is a thresher's party, completed by a garage sale.
