One of the most romantic towns in France, Brantôme, truly merits its nickname of ‘the Venice of Périgord’, featuring a Benedictine abbey tucked into the cliffs, narrow streets lined with gray–stone houses and an ancient footbridge spanning the River Dronne.

Le Moulin de l’Abbaye stands for the romanticism of a mill and the nobleness of a site, the poetry of a village house dating back to the 12^th century, the elegance of refined decor and the magic of undisputed beauty. Fine dining in the Moulin’s restaurant is a real treat, whether served on the beautiful terrace or in the elegant dining room, both enjoy the idyllic riverside setting and culinary delights. Ten elegantly appointed rooms, three apartments; each named after a Bordeaux grand cru are found in two buildings; the mill, and an adjacent home.

Walking around Brantôme, its unique atmosphere, its old abbey and beautiful dwellings is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
