Brantôme, Medieval commune in Dordogne, France.
The town of Brantôme stands on an island formed by the river Dronne, with stone bridges connecting different sections of the settlement.
Founded in 769 by Charlemagne, the Benedictine Abbey of Brantôme endured Viking raids in 848 and 857, leading to multiple reconstructions through centuries.
The eleventh-century bell tower of Brantôme Abbey represents early French Romanesque architecture and remains the oldest church tower in the country.
The Friday market in Brantôme presents local products, while restaurants and shops line the streets near the central medieval bridge.
Troglodyte caves beneath the abbey contain carved reliefs, including the Last Judgment cave with medieval religious sculptures carved into limestone walls.
