River scenery and trails

The Dordogne forms the southern boundary of Saint-Antoine-de-Breuilh, and vineyards and forests surround the town. The Boucle de Breuilh starts in Saint-Antoine-de-Breuilh and is a specific option for a stay focused on hiking. Check the route details before setting out. The trailhead in town and the riverside scenery give you different points of reference for planning.

The church history of Eglise de Bretanor

Eglise de Bretanor was built by the Benedictines of Montcaret between 1110 and 1115. It was erected on the site of a small chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary and served as the chapel of the Benedictine priory of Breuilh. This priory was directly subordinate to the Abbey of Montcaret. In 1123, Saint Bernard consecrated the church. When considering the chronology, distinguish between construction and consecration: the consecration followed the building’s construction and is a separate event in the church’s history.

La Roque Basse: construction and later alterations

La Roque Basse was built between 1307 and 1312 as a tithe barn. The building had four storeys of grain storage, as well as accommodation for the caretaker and collector. It therefore combined storage and residential functions. After a fire caused by a lightning strike around 1725, the roof was replaced and the building was made one and a half storeys shorter. Its construction in the early 14th century and the alterations following the fire are two clearly distinct phases in its architectural history.

Canoeing on the Dordogne

Canoë Kayak Saint-Antoinais offers nine routes on the Dordogne. The offer also includes self-guided trips on routes from 4 to 32 km long. Route length gives you a concrete point of comparison when planning. The provider is located at 1820 route de la Moutine, 24230 Saint-Antoine-de-Breuilh. The business operates seasonally; check the latest contact and access information before visiting.

Farm visits and equestrian activities

La Ferme des Gardes specialises in the direct sale of regional products. Visitors can tour the farm buildings and explore the farm’s trails. The visit therefore focuses on both the agricultural operation and its trails. Equestrian activities are offered in Saint-Antoine-de-Breuilh at Centre Equestre l’Eperon Laurentais. For travel planning, this is a distinct activity alongside the river experiences and historic buildings.
