Take the time to discover
About twenty kilometers from Sarlat and a few steps from Lascaux-International Center for Cave Art, Coly-Saint-Amand is comfortably installed between two wooded valleys.
Its 12th century abbey, considered to be the most beautiful fortified church in Périgord, watches over the houses of the village which, just like her, are made of this Sarladaise stone and these slates typical of the region in a harmonious contrast of ocher and gray tones.
