Chateau des Cars - Haute-Vienneen - The beautiful old Chateau des Cars, located at the center of the town. The first chateau was built in XIIIth century. At the end of the XIth century, Ramnulphe de Lastours,
gives to the Abbey Saint-Martial of Limoges, villa de Quadris,
“village des Cars”, located in the wooded part of the vast parish of
Flavignac. The village appears already equipped with a
Holy-Marie-Madeleine vault.
The abbey quickly founds there a priory formally attested as of the first years of XIIth century. About 1280, the pledged family of Flavignac in
Lastours dies out. It is undoubtedly what supports the appearance and
the development of the seigniory of Les Cars. This new stronghold, initially within the hands of the
family of Barry, then of the family of Pérusse as of the medium of
XIVth century, appears to have formed with the beginning mainly of
territories of the old parish of Flavignac (current communes of
Flavignac and Les Cars). Gradually, the new lords go émanciper of
Lastours (they will end themselves even up repurchasing the seigniory of
Lastours (common of Rilhac-Lastours). Quickly, also, Pérusse, will
take the name of Pérusse des Cars, sometimes written Pérusse d' Escars,
starting from the Renaissance. The castle, which is probably at the simple beginning only one
house-strong, to a few hundred meters of the priory of Saint-Martial,
will be gradually rebuilt to become a true residence. Geoffroy de
Pérusse of Les Cars (died in 1534), adviser-chamberlain of king de
Navarre seems considerably to have improved and have enriched the
monument at the time of the First Renaissance. The site was then
strengthened/fortified, at the time of the wars of religion. 1798:
destruction and plundering of the castle. It belonged to the family De Barri, which was combined
in the Pérusse. Defence work, it was coveted during the One hundred
Year old war. It fell in 1373 with the hands of the English who
established a garrison there.
The Duguesclin constable drove out some. The family of
Pérusse des Cars was one of more famous of the kingdom. One counts
among its members the Marshals of France, the secretaries of State, of
the bishops. Charles IX set up their field in county. The second castle was built at the end of XVth and at the beginning of
XVIth century. A description from 1793 the known as one composed of
five large houses and surrounded a terrace on which four opened
carriage entrances. It was improved in 1778 and was equipped with
immense gardens known as the most beautiful in all the province. It was
destroyed with the Revolution. They do not remain today, all that does
remain are two big towers partly demolished, of the cellars some sides
of walls and the partly filled ditches. Two other small towers which
flanked the entry were updated by the recent excavations. In the town,
outside of the site, one can notice two constructions with decorated
attic window pinnacles (of XVIth), stables and infirmary, which belonged
to the chateau. These buildings are registered with the Inventory
historic buildings (I.S.M.H.) since December 21, 1982. fr - http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chateau_des_Cars

VW..., merci beaucoup for the great photos!
Indeed in your own words you wrote; "It was destroyed with the Revolution.", and those words describe more than most people will ever understand!
Actually we don't really know the real cost in historical buildings, works of art, manuscripts, etc., etc., that were destroyed in the frenzy of this revolution!
But, do we really know the truth about this wide ranging path of distruction? Was it done in a "frenzy" of hate towards the nobility, etc.?
Could much of it have been deliberate?
Were their actually groups of designated revolutionaries (possibly even clerics, or members of certain religious orders, that made a real attempt to deliberately destroy as much as possible, in an attempt to hide certain things?
Was there a plan to destroy certain things, or seize them for other reasons?
Alas, the above is mostly my theory, and there is little reason to consider it!
Regarde' vous!

La Chapelle-Faucher - Dordogne
La Chapelle Faucher has an extraordinary history. In the 14th century
the entire town was burnt to the ground during the Hundred Years' War.
The village was gradually rebuilt, but religion's powerful hand
frequented the village. On 2 July 1569, Protestants led by Gaspard de
Coligny, rounded up 260 Cathar peasants (men, women and children), put
into the chateau and brutally killed one by one during the wars of
religion. The local priest pleaded that they be saved but to no avail.
According to the local chronicler of these wars at the time, Pierre de
Bourdeille, seigneur (and abbé) de Brantôme, the killings began at 9am
and finished around 2pm. Some residents say you can hear the voices of
distressed peasants in the darkness of the night... en - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Chapelle-Faucher fr - http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Chapelle-Faucher l'église Notre-Dame de l'Assomption

Dear VW!
You seem to be a level headed person, and you also seem to have an interest in preserving some of the heritage of France, that seems to be disolving like an "Alka-Selzer" tablet into the countryside!
You have already pictured one of the family estated of the "Roche" family, which is the one that pictures a representative fish called the "Roche", in its standard!
But, do you know of the other family called variously "de la Roche'", etc., whose standard seems to portray a "Rock!"?
As you might well have discovered by this time, a lot of the information and relics of certain parts of French history, were eliminated during the "Great Revolutions" that tore France in-two! Note I wrote "In-two" rather than "into!"
The forces of Nappy did little to change things within France in particular! He was, indeed, considering himself as the "King of Kings" at one time or another!
Little man, big ego!
Thus, if you are also able to do some research, then could you explore the possibility that there existed two "Roche'" families within France?
Regarde' vous!
