La Dordogne and Romanesque Art

Start from the Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne Tourist Office. At the exit of the village, on your left, there is the St Prime-St Félicien fountain, the two patron saints of the town, and a little further on your right (500m), at the Europe Square, there is a magnificent view over the Dordogne and the Chapelle des Pénitents.
You enter the road to Brivezac and after about 1 km, you stop at the Battut dam to watch the swirling river and the perilous passage of the canoes. A little further on, the remarkable Chateau de Chauvac stands out on the right on the hillside.
In Brivezac, opposite the church (11th century portal, the oldest in Limousin...), a small street leads to the Pavillon de Jeanne d’Albret (16th century – private).
You cross the Dordogne towards Reygades, then turn right towards Vaurs. The small departmental road D116 then takes you back to Beaulieu.
