    • The Benedictine Abbey of Brantôme is one of the must-see sites in the "Venice of the Périgord", a surprising tourist destination with its troglodytic origins, the limestone cliff behind the buildings and the mysterious grotto known as the "Last Judgement". It reveals a rich past, from its 11th-century Romanesque bell tower to a vast 18th-century monastic wing.

      Discover Brantôme's historic heritage through 3 different tours:

      • The past of the Brantôme quarries (1h15) Please note that visits are not possible in winter.
      • The cloister, abbey church and bell tower (1h15)
      • Partial tour of the abbey "Hostellerie des Pèlerins" (1h)

      Ticket office and tour departure are at the Tourist Office.

    A nice place where you can get information. However, in the summer there are a lot of students, and they don't have the same charisma to explain things; it's more of an assembly line. But at the same time, if management doesn't explain things to them, you need presence to talk to people, always be friendly, and make good eye contact when you speak to them. Otherwise, it's a place where you can find a wealth of information about the whole department; it's very practical.

  • "Small caves but impressive carvings"

    4 / 5 Reviews posted by joshhardman (Chester, United Kingdom) on 09/08/2025

    Fairly inexpensive entrance fee. Small caves but impressive carvings into the rock. Information boards worth reading. Took maybe 30 minutes.

    Even on an overcast day, the views of this place is stunning. Situated in a chocolate box little town, you can’t fail to be impressed!
