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 large night market is held every first Thursday of August in the Place du Champ de Foire in Aubeterre-sur-Dronne. From 6 p.m. onwards, locals and vacationers gather in the heart of the village to participate in this popular event. Organized on the hills above Aubeterre, the night market offers stalls selling arts and crafts and local produce.

Its location, near the city walls and an old city gate, corresponds to that of a primitive sanctuary, predating Christianity, probably a temple dedicated to Jupiter. A first cathedral was built during the 4th century, dedicated to Saint Saturninus. The building disappeared when Clovis captured Angoulême in 508, after he drove out the Visigoths following the victory at Vouillé in 507. Clovis and then King Charibert ordered the cathedral's reconstruction in honor of Saint Peter.[2] This second cathedral was consecrated in 566 by Saint Germain, Bishop of Paris, and Saint Euphronius, Bishop of Tours, and is mentioned in Gregory of Tours' History of the Franks.[Note 1] It was burned down, probably by the Normans. The third cathedral was the work of Grimoard of Mussidan, Bishop of Angoulême (991-1018). He was also Abbot of Brantôme in Périgord and used the abbey's revenues to finance its construction. Begun around 991 and consecrated in 1015, it lasted only a century, its dimensions being too small. Only the north wall remains in the second and third bays of the nave, beneath the windows.

A visit is absolutely recommended, unique.

Very beautiful village

The square stands on the site of the original city fortifications and has long been used for parades and demonstrations. At one end is the imposing statue of President Sadi Carnot, assassinated in 1894. In 1956, the square was renamed Place New York Square in commemoration of Verrazzano's journey in the service of Francis I, who in 1524 named the site of present-day New York as New Angoulême.
