Fascinating stonework, a very beautiful Romanesque church

The abbey church of the former Benedictine monastery in Beaulieu dates back to the 12th century. Romanesque at its finest. The south portal is particularly impressive, with its detailed tympanum depicting Christ with his disciples. The adjoining bell tower dates from the 14th century. Only the remains of the monastery walls and the chapter house remain.

A medieval city built on the right bank of the Dordogne, Beaulieu has been nicknamed "the Limousin Riviera" thanks to the mildness of its climate, which is conducive to the cultivation of strawberries. We first come here for its remarkable Saint-Pierre abbey church, whose portal, a masterpiece of Romanesque art representing the return of Christ at the end of time, can be compared to that of Moissac. We stroll happily through the alleys, we compare the facades topped with turrets, decorated with medallions and cherubs, like the house of Adam and Eve, we dream in front of the Chapel of the Penitents and its steeple-wall which is reflected in the waters of the Dordogne. Nearby, you can embark on a barge from May to October, to relive the epic of the bargemen who went down to Libourne to deliver their loads of wood for the Bordeaux cooperage.
