Lisle (French pronunciation: [lil] ; Occitan : L'Esla) is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.

History

In October 1537, the town was badly damaged by a company of Gascon recruits under Joachim de Montluc, brother of the more famous Blaise de Montluc. Unpaid and unfed, the troops had demanded "free quarter", which was refused. ^[3]
