Brantôme Benedictine Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The Benedictine abbey of Brantôme, built on the banks of the Dronne, is one of the most important religious sites in Périgord. Initially built in the rock, in a troglodyte fashion, it houses impressive caves, which can be visited.

The abbey church, where religious services still take place, is topped by a Romanesque bell tower from the 11th century, which is among the oldest in France.
