Saux (pronounced "Sox"; Languedocien: Sauç) is a former commune in the Lot department in south-western France. On 1 January 2019, it was merged into the new commune of Porte-du-Quercy.[2][3]
History[edit]
The army of Simon de Montfort ravaged the village and demolished two castles there.[4]
Administration[edit]
Before 1789, there were two parishes in that village, the one at Saux known by the name of St. Andrew, the other at Tourniac by the name of St. Hilaire.[4] Curiously, both were a detached possession of the castellany of Lauzerte,[5] despite being part of the Diocese of Cahors.[4]
At that time, the village was known as Saux-de-Tourniac.[6][7]
Tourniac[edit]
Tourniac is a hamlet to the west of the village Saux. It was mentioned on the 18th century Cassini map as Tronhac.[8] Formerly an independent commune, it was merged into Saux between 1795 and 1800.[9]
