Just 8 kilometers from the Lascaux cave, in a valley surrounded by woods, the village of Saint-Amand-de-Coly – one of the most beautiful villages in France – is home to a spectacular abbey, founded more than 1000 years by Saint Amand.
This abbey, made of Sarladaise stones and slates typical of Périgord Noir, is considered the most beautiful fortified church in the region and invites contemplation. It's difficult not to fall under the spell of the bell tower-porch of the abbey of Saint-Amand-de-Coly, 30 meters high, which is distinguished by its immense pointed arch vault framing the entrance door to the church .
The entire history of this imposing construction is told to you on the interpretation trail.
