History
The army of Simon de Montfort ravaged the village and demolished two castles there.Administration
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. Curiously, both were a detached possession of the castellany of Lauzerte, despite being part of the Diocese of Cahors.At that time, the village was known as Saux-de-Tourniac.
