Vayrac

Vayrac (French pronunciation: [vɛʁak]; Occitan: Vairac) is a commune in the Lot department in south-western France.

Vayrac is located in the Haut Quercy, in the north of the Lot, in the Valley of the Dordogne Lotoise between Martel and Bretenoux on the D803 and on the edge of the Sourdoire and Maumont rivers.

[3] In the Vayrac commune is found the Gaulish oppidum of the Puy D'issolud (about 300 m above sea level).

In addition to an impressive quantity of armaments (Gaulish and Roman arrows), the famous underground galleries have been discovered, made by the sappers of Caesar in order to divert the spring feeding the only source to which the Gauls could come too, to obtain their water supply.

The farm workers abandoned their fields to come and form a water-bucket chain and saved the national treasures.
