Tips
Le Poët-en-Percip takes its name from its position (poët, which is a distortion of the Latin podium, meaning “mound”) and also from its first lordship, Domina Percipia. She is the one who is at the origin of the Mévouillon dynasty. It was in 1266 that in his honor the Poet was named en-Percip. This perched village was once a stopover on the old busy road which linked Buis to the highlands. Only one road leads to the village, which helps maintain this peaceful place.
