Former possession of the Barasc family from the eleventh to the sixteenth century, then of Narbonnes, and finally of Lostanges, the seigniory of Béduer dominated for a time all the territory between Lot and Célé and rivaled the abbey of Figeac.

Today it is a pleasant village, the official starting point of the GR 651.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the Lostanges family, originally from Corrèze, wielded power in Beduer. The imposing castle with its 60-meter-high tower dates from this period. This was partially destroyed during the French Revolution. In the 19th century, Béduer experienced a period of prosperity and the number of inhabitants of this agricultural region reached 1,500 in 1850. The rural exodus which began in the second half of the 19th century, coupled with the massive appearance of the Peranospera and finally the First World War led to the exodus of a large part of the population.
