The abbey church of the former Benedictine monastery in Beaulieu dates back to the 12th century. Romanesque at its finest. The south portal is particularly impressive, with its detailed tympanum depicting Christ with his disciples. The adjoining bell tower dates from the 14th century. Only the remains of the monastery walls and the chapter house remain.

Opening times From June 15, 2024 to September 15 * The chapel is open from mid-June to mid-September for temporary exhibitions and guided tours of the city (information at the tourist office).

The chapel was built in the 12th century. After being partially damaged during the Hundred Years' War, it was restored thanks to a loan taken out by the consulate from a wealthy family. It was sold as national property during the Revolution. In 1820, it was bought by the Brotherhood of the Blue Penitents. The latter disappeared at the end of the 19th century, after having had a great influence in the city. The chapel is above all remarkable for its magnificent five-bay bell tower with bell locations. The chevet of the chapel is simple with its triplet of apsidioles and its Limousin moldings.

This superb town, located on the edge of the Dordogne, is worth a stop. It has been known since the Gallic era. The place was strategic and has remained so throughout history. The town controlled the access linking Armorica to the Mediterranean Sea. This situation made it a place where wealth circulated. It was in the 18th and 19th centuries that its economic growth increased thanks to the use of barges, these flat-bottomed boats that could navigate shallow waterways.

Nowadays, very few mills are still in operation in their original function, but appear to cyclists along the river as technical-historical monuments of an ancient craft tradition: The heavy millstones inside were moved solely through human ingenuity and the power of the chestnut water as driving energy, so that, for example, grains could be ground into flour (so-called grain mills) or oil could be pressed from (e.g. olive) fruits (so-called oil mills). .
