Capdenac (French pronunciation: [kapdənak]) is a commune in the Lot department in south-western France.

At one time Capdenac was thought to be identifiable as the Gaulish settlement of Uxellodunum which was besieged by Julius Caesar,[3] but this theory has been discredited.

[4] The old village of Capdenac is situated on a hill on a ridge which forces a large meander in the river Lot.

During the Second World War, encouraged by contact with Archbishop Saliège and Monseigneur de Courrège d'Ustou,[5] Sister Denise Bergon arranged for the convent of Notre Dame de Massip in Capdenac (where she was Mother Superior) to shelter some 83 Jewish children at risk due to the Holocaust in France.

[6] Another source lists the following in the rescue network: Denise Bergon (Soeur Denise), Jeannette Bettelheim (called Don Quich Jeanne Sicard), Louis de Courrèges d'Ustou (Monseigneur de Courrèges), Georges Garel, Marguerite Roques, and Jules Saliège (Monseigneur Saliège).
