THE CHAPEL SAINT FRONT DU COULOBRE
Go there and contact
Between myth and history, the Coulobre chapel proudly watches over the Dordogne and recalls the legend of the slain dragon.
Perched at the end of a rocky spur on the Dordogne River, the chapel blends history and legend. It commemorates the feat of Saint Front, apostle of the Périgord, who is said to have slain the dragon Coulobre. Built in the 12th century on the site of a 7th-century edifice and a former pagan place of worship, it still has two entrances, the eastern of which is topped by a human head. The choir doors feature two capitals: the Temptation and three monstrous creatures. Under the chapel, the "trou du Coulobre" grotto.
