Carennac is a small medieval village on the bank of the Dordogne river, a place
steeped in history where old houses cluster round a castle (where Fenelon is said to have written his "Télémaque"), a part Romanesque, part flamboyant Gothic cloister, and a church with a beautiful tympanum, and an amazing 15th century Entombment. |

Plus que tous les autres lieux
Cet heureux coin de la terre
Me plaît et rit à mes yeux »
