Trémolat was originally home to a 6th century hermit, Saint-Cybard, before monks built their monastery here in the 9th century.
Its prominent feature is the fortified Romanesque Eglise Saint-Nicolas.
There is also an attractive 12th century chapel, Saint-Hilaire, which has stained glass windows made by Paul Becker.
Nearby there are some stunning panoramic views of the meanders of the Dordogne river.
This is a popular village with tourists from the UK, Germany and Holland and you will certainly hear some English accents around as there is a small English contingent living here too. A quiet, sleepy little village that is the perfect getaway and a good base to explore the Dordogne area.
With a multitude of outdoor activities on offer you can choose to do as much or as little as you wish here.
