Brageac
Brageac is a small rural community of 78 inhabitants divided amongst several hamlets. Its name comes from Broga (field, land), and it was founded in 637 by Saint-Till, a hermit monk.

This castle built during the 15th century was the seat of a seigniory belonging to the Montclar family. On the two floors several tapestries are on view: “Le Bestaire Fantastique” (fantastic bestiary) and ten Aubusson Verdure tapestries from the 16th century (discovered at the beginning of the 20th century by the parish priest and recently restored).
