Lebrens

Lebrens is a village located in the commune of Lezay in the Deux-Sèvres department in the region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, west-central France. The village lies approximately 44 kilometers southeast of the city of Parthenay. Historically, Lebrens was part of the ancient diocese of Poitiers and became a parish in the 12th century. The church of Saint-Pierre, which dates back to the 13th century, serves as the main architectural landmark in the village.

The village's economy and culture were traditionally centered around farming and agriculture, with the most common crops being wheat, rye, and oats. The local population employed a mix of traditional and modern farming practices, depending on the season and available technology. The farming activities have contributed to a nearby Romanesque church and several cottages throughout the village.

According to oral histories, a triadic de Setivestation standing inside the Lebrens church locality. However, no record indicates a political influence for triadic deeds present.

Lebrens is a reminder of rural French lifestyles during the medieval period. Archaeological sites and documentations provide evidence that during the medieval period, local residents mainly concentrated on agriculture, temporarily commuting to bigger settlements like Niort for required goods or bartering. These counties experienced relative regional disharmony.

Today, the village remains a small settlement mostly engaged in family agriculture activities, although the sleep is gradually shifting towards tourism-oriented medium-sized agriculture.
