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.

A medieval city built on the right bank of the Dordogne, Beaulieu has been nicknamed "the Limousin Riviera" thanks to the mildness of its climate, which is conducive to the cultivation of strawberries. We first come here for its remarkable Saint-Pierre abbey church, whose portal, a masterpiece of Romanesque art representing the return of Christ at the end of time, can be compared to that of Moissac. We stroll happily through the alleys, we compare the facades topped with turrets, decorated with medallions and cherubs, like the house of Adam and Eve, we dream in front of the Chapel of the Penitents and its steeple-wall which is reflected in the waters of the Dordogne. Nearby, you can embark on a barge from May to October, to relive the epic of the bargemen who went down to Libourne to deliver their loads of wood for the Bordeaux cooperage.

In addition to the main church of Saint-Pierre, be sure to visit the Chapelle des Pénitents bleus (12th century) right on the river bank.
