At the heart of a Biosphere Reserve, Brantôme is a halt on the Way of Saint James that knows how to welcome the numerous pilgrims passing through. With its little shops and markets, the town is lively all year long. Look out for the Local Producers Market or the Truffle Market Tuber Melanosporum (in season).

Perigordian Specialities and River Produce To savour fine cuisine while enjoying the view on the Dronne, favour the very chic Moulin de l’Abbaye B  , right at the foot of the sanctuary or the Charbonnel restaurant  D  , with its idyllic terrace suspended over the river (above) . If you prefer to leave the town center, opt for the snug atmosphere of Les Jardins de Brantôme E   or the Moulin de Vigonac F  , in the ultimate bucolic setting. Either way, you can be sure of a memorable gourmet experience, tasting Périgord-style duck fillet or perhaps pan-fried pike-perch with Bergerac wine sauce!
