Espagnac

Espagnac (French pronunciation: [ɛspaɲak]; Occitan: Espanhac) is a commune in the Corrèze department in central France.

The main economic activity is cattle raising though it now benefits from the recent trend of rural tourism.

Though evidences of neolithic and Celtic occupation exist on the commune's territory, the village itself was probably only founded during or after the Gallo-Roman era, near the site of a villa not yet excavated.

During the Middle Ages, Espagnac seems to have become a dwelling of local importance, as attested by the existence of a Merovingian mint (three gold coins with the mention "Spaniaco Fit" have been found), of a large cemetery where sarcophagi have been exhumed and of an abbey.

A small restored Carolingian Chapel and the privately owned medieval castle of Puy-de-Val are also present on the territory of the commune.
