History
Prior to the 9th Century, little is known about the origins of Sioniac but when Rodoulf, Archbishop of Bourges established a monastery down the hill at Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, he gave the church of Saint-Saturnin at Sioniac in May 859 to the newly established monks.[4] In June 859, Rudolf obtained a charter from King Charles the Bald to establish a market in Sioniac.[4] This market remained the main market for Beaulieu until the medieval period.[4] Other sources say the market could be older as the village was positioned on an ancient north-south trading route between Pay Arnac and Quercy.
