FRANCAIS

Comme il est écrit à sa base : "A l'aube de l'histoire fut dressée en ce lieu la "pierre au bois", mégalithe qui servit de signal jusqu'au XVème siècle de limite à la juridiction de St Martial"

Nichée au coeur du quartier historique de la Boucherie, la place de la Barreyrrette tient son nom des barrières qui fermaient les enclos des bestiaux destinée au boucher, jusqu'à la construction de l'abattoir municipal en 1832.

ENGLISH

Nestled in the heart of the historic district of the Boucherie, the Place de la Barreyrrette takes its name from the barriers that closed the cattle pens destined for the butcher, until the construction of the municipal slaughterhouse in 1832.
