“The Beaumont
Region in Perigord, located on the borders of the Bergerac and
Sarlat regions, offers a wealth of heritage and includes 13
municipalities.
The thirteenth century Bastide of Beaumont du Perigord was built
in 1272 by Edward I, King of England. A stroll in Beaumont
inevitably sends you back to the Middle Ages, with a central
square surrounded by cornices, a late 13th - early 14th century
fortified church in the English Gothic style, narrow, fortified
houses, and Luzier’s Gateway, classified as an Historical
Monument.”
“The Beaumont Region has many unforgettable sights: the St
Avitus Senieur abbey-church, listed in UNESCO’s World Heritage,
Romanesque churches with bell-tower walls (Sainte Croix de
Beaumont, Bourniquel, Labouquerie, Rampieux, Naussannes), a
private castle dominating the Couze Valley (Bannes), a “stacked”
house (Sainte Sabine Born), mills, fountains and villages of
character (Monsac, Bayac), natural sites such as the White
Dolmen (Nojals and Clottes), the unfinished Molières Bastide,
without forgetting the medieval paintings in the chapel at St
Christopher Montferrand du Perigord.”
