Peyre St Front takes its name from the legend of St Front, the hermit who once lived beside the spring. He so cherished the sweet water that still flows crystal clear to the well beside the house, that he vowed to build a church, out of gratitude. He threw a stone, stating he would build the church wherever the stone should land. The church of St Front still dominates the centre of Corgnac village so many centuries later.
