Siorac-de-Ribérac

Siorac-de-Ribérac (French pronunciation: [sjɔʁak də ʁibeʁak], literally Siorac of Ribérac; Occitan: Sieurac de Rabairac) is a commune in the Dordogne department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of southwestern France.

The commune of Siorac-de-Ribérac lies in the forest of the Double, in the west of the Dordogne department.

It is bounded on its south side for about 4 km by the Rizonne stream, which separates it from the neighbouring communes of Saint-André-de-Double and Saint-Vincent-de-Connezac.

The village church of St Peter in Chains began in 1154, during the English period in the region, Aquitaine.

In the 14th century, during the Hundred Years' War between England and France, the defensive rectangular tower was added, using quarry stone.

Siorac's romanesque church dates from the 12th and 14th centuries
