Meyssac

Meyssac is characterized by its red sandstone construction which gives the town a distinctive appearance, with historic buildings displaying traditional architecture that dates back several centuries throughout the medieval center.

Until 1738, Meyssac was part of the viscounty of Turenne, controlled by the Touchebœuf family who constructed fortifications including walls and gates to secure the town against looters during medieval times.

The town maintains strong cultural traditions through local associations that organize regular events, keeping local heritage alive while strengthening community bonds and preserving centuries-old customs passed down through generations.

The town hall is located at 9 place de l'église, open Tuesday through Saturday, providing various administrative services including identity document management and community hall reservations for local events.

Every Tuesday, Meyssac hosts one of the most lively markets in the region, providing visitors with opportunities to experience local produce and traditional crafts in a historic setting.
