Discover Anlhiac

When looking for a hotel in Anlhiac, you can focus on the landscape, local history, and specific places of interest. The Auvézère, the town center, and named cultural sites each offer a different perspective. Before choosing, consider whether the landscape, historic sites, or a particular destination is most important to your travel plans; you can then compare specific hotel details with your priorities.

Landscape and finding your way around

The Auvézère forms Anlhiac’s eastern boundary. The Gorges de l’Auvézère associated with the town are designated as a ZNIEFF. This gives you two specific landscape features to consider: the river as a boundary and the named gorges as a designated area. When planning, you can distinguish between the river as a geographic reference and the Gorges as a distinct landscape feature.

Roads and town center

Two road details are also useful for finding your way around. The D 704 departmental road is Anlhiac’s main north–south traffic route; the town center is accessed via the D 77. These details describe different roles: the D 704 is the main route and its direction, while the D 77 provides access to the center.

Church, parish, and industrial history

The Église Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens in Anlhiac has a Romanesque choir. Anlhiac’s parish is first documented in a 13th-century parish register under the name ULHAC. These offer two different insights into religious history: an architectural feature of the church and an early recorded parish name. The Croix de Notre-Dame commemorates a former chapel.

The Ancienne forge à haut fourneau d’Anlhiac was in operation from the 16th century onward. It offers a different point of interest from the church, parish, and chapel: here, the focus is on industrial history. The forge is a few hundred meters through the woods above the Moulin de Guimalet, on the GR 646. GR stands for “Grande Randonnée,” the French term for a long-distance hiking trail.

Mill circuit and garden

The Moulin de Guimalet in Anlhiac is part of circuit no. 3, “Périgord Vert,” a program featuring mills in the Dordogne département. This is a different planning reference from the forge’s location on the GR 646: the Moulin is part of a mill circuit, while the forge is located on a named trail.

In Le Prat in Anlhiac, Maïana aromatiques offers a garden open to visitors and a shop. This is a different kind of visit from the historic sites. If you plan to visit the garden and shop, check in advance when visits are possible; opening arrangements may change.
