France is bursting with pretty villages and towns and the chocolate box village of Brantôme is no exception.
Brantôme is a commune in the Dordogne department in southwestern France, which retains its picturesque atmosphere and is situated along the river Dronne. The backdrop of the village is the Benedictine Abbey of Brantôme, which was founded in 769.
I have been to Brantôme before and would highly recommend a visit if you are touring in this area.
I will let the photos do the talking...
Enjoy!
