Brantôme en Périgord

The commune stretches along both sides of the Dronne River, with its center situated on a natural island measuring 300 meters in diameter.

The Abbey of Saint-Pierre, founded during the reign of Pepin the Short, received religious relics from Charlemagne and developed into a major religious center.

The town maintains French cultural traditions through regular markets, summer water competitions, and an annual pottery exhibition in the first week of August.

Visitors access the town via the Vézelay route, which connects to multiple regional hiking paths and provides entry to the Périgord-Limousin natural park.

NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars named a rock formation after this French commune in February 2021, connecting Earth's heritage to space exploration.
