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.

Abbey to visit, and its building just opposite, three floors of cultures, workshops, and exhibitions of painters, sculptors. The roof is remarkable for its complexity and its scale.
