Saint-Robert

Situated on a hill (320 m), on the borders of Limousin and Périgord, Saint-Robert has retained a medieval character which makes it “one of the most beautiful villages in France”.
It was the setting for a television series based on the novels of Claude Michelet. Of the Romanesque church, only the choir and the transept remain. The nave was destroyed during the Wars of Religion. Next to the octagonal bell tower, above the crossing, a polygonal lantern of the dead and a square defensive tower added in the 16th century. Saint-Robert has a very medieval charm with its old stately homes, its narrow streets and the remains of fortified gates. It was the seat of a court of Appeaux.
