The 3 last notes
Yesterday I cleaned the fountain, fontaine des dame also named fontaine des amours. It nearly desappeared under weeds. For more cleaning an engin is needed.
The fountain before the cleaning
and half an hour later
France Bleu Périgord was in Javerlhac on Wednesday June 2nd for 5 interviews about fountains, fishing in the Bandiat river and a forest in the wetland near the Bandiat.
You can listen to the interviews from Monday June 14th to Friday June 18th at 11:50 a.m. and 5:20 p.m.

A painting was given to the church of Javerlhac in 1849. It is not mentioned in the inventory of 1906 and nobody has seen it. Maybe it is still somewhere in an attic
The original Sebastiano del Piombo "La visitation".
