Carennac - Saint-Pierre
Carennac, a very picturesque village on the banks of the Dordogne river, is one of "Les Plus Beaux Villages de Franc". There are many tourists here in August and we were lucky, to get the last very room in the chambre d'hôtes.
In 1047 a priory had been founded here, depending from the Benedictine abbey Saint-Pierre in Moissac and so woven into the "Cluniac system". Saint-Pierre, now the parish church of Carennac, was erected within the 11th/12th century. The narthex and the impressive facade, seen here, were the last parts, that got completed.
