Brantôme is also called the Venice of the Périgord. It is located in the Périgord Vert, north of Périgueux. There are beautiful monuments to see during a pleasant visit, lots of water wherever you go and a village center that is old but not a museum.

00:30During our journey through the Perigord we also come to Brantôme
00:34Located in the green Perigord north of Perigo the village has a long history dating back to the 8th century
00:48The village developed on the opposite side of the Benedictine Abbey of Saint Pierre de Brantôme
00:54founded in
00:55769 by Charlemagne directly on a cliff
01:00At
01:05That time the relics of Saint Sicarius were kept in the Abbey which is why it was visited by many pilgrims
01:12Therefore the settlement flourished quickly in the 9th century the monks created the present island by shortening the river bend with a cut
01:24The Abbey was destroyed in 848 or 849 and 859
01:30By Vikings or Normans who had moved upstream the Dron from the Dordogne and the Eel rivers
02:01You
02:05The troglodyte part of the Abbey of Brantôme should be visited in any case
02:10Here you can see the traces of the first Benedictine monks from the 8th century
02:15The dwellings can be guessed dovecoats are well visible
02:22The dug grotto called Cave of the Last Judgment in which there are two bar reliefs one of which is very
02:28Mysterious made us very impressed
02:51And we recommend a boat ride which departs right from the Abbey and
02:55Surprises with untouched nature right on the edge of the old town center
