Clairac

A walk through Clairac

Six stops in Claude Martin’s town, from the motto of 1621 to his museum: each has its own short page, easy to read on a phone, with its sources and links to the site’s records.

  1. 1. Place Viçoze

    The town’s motto, carved in stone.

  2. 2. The abbey and the church of Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens

    From a Benedictine abbey to the registers of the Protestants who stayed.

  3. 3. The Protestant church

    The first church, razed in 1685 or 1686; rebuilt in the 19th century.

  4. 4. The Maison de Japhet

    Claude Martin’s museum.

  5. 5. Rue Porte-Pinte

    A tailor who stayed in Clairac, a family perhaps divided.

  6. 6. The old mill

    Claude Martin, a business leader in Clairac.

Before you set out

The suggested order follows history, not a route measured on the ground: do the stops in whatever order suits you. Some locations are still to be checked; they are marked. Private houses are never shown.
