Travel Guide Carennac

Find an accommodation
The jewel of the Lot valley's Dordogne region, classified as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, Carennac is built around a former monastery founded in the 10th century. From 1681 to 1695, it housed the great Fénelon as dean, who is said to have written his Adventures of Telemachus there. What makes Carennac so charming is hidden in the poetry of its old stones and one cannot describe its emotion when discovering, in its heart, its magnificent Romanesque tympanum. Carennac is also the cradle of the golden plum queen-claude. Originally from the Middle East, it was imported under FrancisI by the monks of Cluny as a gift to the brothers of the Carennac priory.
