The queen stone
The name “Péreyres” is believed to come from the Occitan word “peirièra,” meaning “stone quarries,” derived from “pèira,” from the Latin “petra,” meaning “stone.” It is with these local stones that its Saint-Régis church was built in the 18th century, much to the delight of the people of Péreyres.
