Church built at the end of the 11th century in the center of the monastic complex

At the foot of the cliffs of the Causse de Gramat, bathed by the waters of the Dordogne, the monastic village of Carennac developed around a Cluniac priory founded in the middle of the 11th century. Famous for its Romanesque tympanum and Gothic tomb, the church of Saint-Pierre, built at the end of the 11th century, is at the centre of the monastic complex. The porch, built in front of this façade, has a carved tympanum representing Christ in majesty in a mandorla, surrounded by the Tetramorph and the apostles. Listed as a Historic Monument.

L'Eglise Saint-Pierre à Carennac
L’église Saint-Pierre a été édifiée à la fin du XI ème siècle. Le cloître est mi-roman, mi gothique-flamboyant. L’église a été classée au titre de Monuments Historiques le 2 mai 1893 et son cloître classé le 18 avril 1914. Son porche est de toute beauté, surplombé d'un tympan de style roman représentant le Christ, entouré par les symboles des évangélistes (l'ange, l'aigle, le lion, le taureau) et par les apôtres, des animaux familiers sont figurés au bas du tympan. Elle est connue également pour sa salle capitulaire avec une Mise au Tombeau du XV ème siècle de style gothique. Mais l'intérieur de l’Église Saint-Pierre est beau également et mérite de s'y attarder.

Carennac is a village of the Lot ranked among the most beautiful villages in France and the title here is merited. Very beautiful architectural group, with a castle, very attractive restaurants, a central little paved square with a church (and Tourist Office) and narrow streets numbers are located to explore to discover old houses full of charm, a staircase, a turret…
Another ex-church is apparently transformed into art gallery from an artist exposed paintings and sculptures to it in August 2016.
The streets are not too steep and even the cobbled streets are available as strollers and/or a wheelchair.
Shops offer specialties (walnut cake, caramelized walnuts etc.), homemade ice cream. The shopping of the “walnut Bar”, opposite the church is particularly friendly and does not hesitate to sample its caramelized walnuts passers-by
