Carennac - Saint-Pierre
Carennac is a very picturesque village perching above the banks of the Dordogne river. The village is one of "Les Plus Beaux Villages de Franc". Not much seems to have changed within the last centuries.
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.
During the Hundred Years War, the village suffered great damage. As by wonder, the tympanum (see previous uploads) survived. Most houses of the priory and the village did not. The cloister got destroyed got rebuilt in the second half of the 15th century. So only some parts of the cloister in Carennac are Romanesque.
