This tiny village of Lacapelle-Biron would be the presumed birthplace of Bernard Palissy who belonged to the French Renaissance school. To pay homage to the child of the country, takes place every summer at the Bernard Palissy museum an exhibition of ceramics.
The village of Lacapelle-Biron experienced dark times during the passage of the 2nd SS Armored Division Das Reich in 1944. In memory of this period, a departmental deportation monument was erected on the village square. Nearby, the hamlet of Saint-Avit offers a beautiful architectural ensemble that is well worth a visit.
