The town contains the Church of Saint Roch, a prime example of a fortified medieval church. Historical displays inside the church state that it was remodeled and enlarged in the 13th and 14th centuries CE, but its main structure dates to the 11th century and the base of the chevet (structure with the altar and apse) is much older.
A 2022 census from the Institut National de la Statistique et des Études Économiques places the population of Thédirac at 298.[3]
