Saint-Géry

Saint-Géry covers 18.71 square kilometers with elevations ranging from 60 to 148 meters above sea level, featuring the Lidoire river that flows through its territory before joining the Dordogne river.

First documented in the 13th century as Sanctus Egidius, the commune derives its name from a Provençal hermit and features a 19th-century Saint-Gilles church that replaced an earlier medieval structure.

The commune hosts an annual votive festival during August or September that brings together the local community for traditional celebrations and festive gatherings rooted in Périgord heritage and customs.

The town hall operates on Tuesday and Thursday from 8 AM to 12 PM and Wednesday from 8 AM to 11 AM, under Mayor Sébastien Bourdin who serves the 2020-2026 term.

The communal territory is crossed by the 45th parallel north, positioning the village at the exact equidistant point between the North Pole and the Earth's equator, a remarkable geographical feature.
