The bastide with its famous fortified church, one of the most beautiful fortified religious buildings in the South West of France, is supplied with water by more than 140 wells. Christophe Garrigue, upholsterer in Beaumont du Périgord tells us another memory, the Paillade festival of the name of the said place. A festival that brought together the villagers until the 1970s on the banks of the Couze.

It was July 14 and people were walking down Beaumont. It was a long walk of 2 or 3 km to get there from the village. There was plenty of entertainment for young and old along the Couze.
