A charming village and home to the largest underground church in Europe. It is officially listed as "one of the most beautiful villages in France." Located in the southern Charente region, it borders the Dordogne, renowned for its historic villages, castles, prehistoric caves, and breathtaking landscapes. In the heart of the village, a lovely square awaits you, lined with terraces and restaurants. Enjoy strolling through its narrow, cobbled, medieval, and romantic streets, lined with typical stone houses that give the village its special and picturesque character.

A visit is absolutely recommended, unique.

Very beautiful village

A stone's throw from Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, this overlooking position offers a superb view of the Dronne valley.

The course of the Dronne extends over 200 kilometers. At this location, as at others, it is classified as a natural area of ecological, fauna and flora interest. It is possible to observe, among other things, tree frogs, white-clawed crayfish, otters and mink, kingfishers and larks, and also lampreys.

Superb commune certified “Most beautiful villages in France”. The white facades of the houses give the village squares a beautiful appearance. The village is known for its underground church of Saint-Jean in particular. The belvedere offers a breathtaking view of the red tiled roofs of the houses and their characteristic loggias which were once used to dry crops.

A very well maintained community. Old buildings, cute coffees, chic boutiques, countless antique shops and the extraordinary church.

Unique underground church. Really well preserved. The entrance ticket costs 8 euros with audio guide (French or English) other languages available as text (you get two pages in one slide). A visit is highly recommended. The photos hardly manage to reflect the mysterious beauty of this church.
