Le Bugue, Market town in Dordogne, France
Le Bugue sits along the Vézère River with stone houses, traditional shops, and a central square featuring a clock-towered town hall. The riverside location shapes the town's character and layout.
A Benedictine monastery dedicated to Saint Marcel and Saint Salvador was established in 964, marking the start of organized community life. This foundation led to the settlement's growth over the following centuries.
The Tuesday market, established by royal decree in 1319, still brings together local producers and artisans in the town center today.
The town is easily reached by train with connections to Périgueux and Agen, while National Routes 703 and 710 offer convenient road access. Visitors will find solid infrastructure for exploring the wider region from here.
Local scientist Jean Rey discovered the Law of Conservation of Mass in his laboratory here, more than 200 years before Lavoisier conducted similar work. His findings went largely overlooked until much later.
