Brantôme : la Venise du Périgord
Direction Brantôme un sublime village au cœur du Périgord Vert. Cette cité posée sur une île est un véritable chef d’œuvre de l’homme et de la nature. En automne, la lumière révèle toute la beauté du lieu mais on surveille de près les pluies qui menacent la cité et ses alentours.

A visit to Brantome, France.
Brantôme - Venise du Périgord
Entourée par la Dronne, la Venise du Périgord est une île. Au 8ème siècle, les moines bénédictins s’installent au pied de la falaise, dans des abris troglodytiques, afin de fonder une abbaye. L’abbé Pierre de Bourdeille, auteur des « Dames galantes » sous le pseudonyme de Brantôme, était alors le détenteur du pouvoir royal et fut l’un des artisans de la paix retrouvée, après les affrontements entre catholiques et protestants dont la ville fut le théâtre.
Aujourd’hui, les cloches du plus ancien campanile de France rythment les balades romantiques sur la rivière ou le pas des promeneurs dans l’apaisant jardin des moines.

Brantôme, Dordogne - Picturesque Travel in France
Brantôme is a town in the Dordogne, and part of an old pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. The town, which retains its picturesque atmosphere, is situated along the river Dronne.
The town is particularly pretty, but also has a fascinating history. The monks who established the abbey lived in caves, (as did many settlers of the Dordogne region). The abbey was actually founded by Charlemagne, and is famous for it's literary importance.
Additional information via Wikipedia:
The commune started to develop on an island encircled by a sweep of the river Dronne next to the Benedictine Abbey of Brantôme, which was founded in 769 by Charlemagne; according to legend he donated relics of Saint Sicarius (Sicaire), one of the infants in the Massacre of the Innocents. Those relics attracted pilgrims to the abbey, who also brought a certain affluence to Brantôme, but in spite of St. Sicaire's protection, the abbey was laid waste in 848 and in 857 by Viking rovers who had advanced along the Dordogne and Isle rivers to the Dronne. The abbey was rebuilt towards the end of the tenth century and again in 1465 and in 1480 after the end of the Hundred Years' War. Its Romanesque bell-tower is a competitor for the title oldest in France[1] and developed a high reputation. Here Bertrand du Guesclin, battling the English Angevins, apprised that he had been made Constable of France by Charles V. Pierre de Mareuil, abbot from 1538–56, built a right-angled bridge, the Pont Coudé, over the river, which connected the elegant Renaissance abbot's lodging he built for himself with its garden, which lay on the opposite bank. He was succeeded by his nephew, Pierre de Bourdeille (abbot from 1558–1614), a soldier and writer better known by his title as Abbé Brantôme, whose diplomacy saved the abbey and its commune from the Huguenot forces of Gaspard de Coligny on two occasions in 1569 during the Wars of Religion. At the French Revolution, the abbey was secularised as a bien national, the last seven monks pensioned and its rich library dispersed.
