VILLAGE DE CADOUIN Towns, Villages and bastides in Le Buisson de Cadouin

Under the impetus of the Cistercians, specialists in hydraulic development, it was in the 12th century that Cadouin appeared.
We invite you to visit the essential abbey buildings, made up of the abbey, the cloister and the common courtyard; the development of Griffoul and Bélingou, channeled to pass at the end of the building and supply the mills, the forge and evacuate the latrines; the Porte Saint-Louis; the hall which represents the return of commercial activity to the abbey and the village after the ravages of the Hundred Years War; the fountains, including the fountain of St Bernard!

Not to be missed: a visit to the Cloister of Cadouin, a magnificent masterpiece of Gothic art.
