History
[edit]Legend of the relics of St. Cyprian
[edit]The village's name comes from the name of Cyprian, bishop of Carthage, whose relics are claimed to have been hidden here during two centuries before reportedly transferred to Moissac in 1122.[4][5] This information comes from Aymeric de Peyrac in his Chronicle, and in an old lectionary of the abbey of Moissac, quoted by the Gallia Christiana, which says that the relics were transferred to Moissac from a place in the diocese of Cahors called Valles or Les Vaux. Alain de Solminihac probably did not believe the authenticity of the relics.[6]
Before 1790, the parish's name was Saint-Cyprien des Vaux.[7]
