Les villages de Carennac, Loubressac et Autoire

Visit three villages which are known as « Some of the most beautiful villages in France»
Autoire: Tucked in the hollow of a valley lined by impressive cliffs, the whole village has real character with its old houses, Manor, Romanesque church and unlikely “Château des Anglais” clinging to the rockface.
Loubressac: The village and castle perched on a rocky spur overlooking the valleys of the Dordogne and the Bave. Magnificant views of the Chateau’s of Montal, Castelnau and Saint-Laurent.
Carennac: Developed on the banks of the Dordogne around a priory founded in the 11th century by the Abbey of Cluny. Visit the Romanesque church, Chapter House, the Dean’s residence and Calypso’s Isle – a reminder of the Dean of Fénelon.
