Saint-Amand-de-Coly is a small village not far from Montignac, the village where the Lascaux Cave was discovered.
It is notable for its 12th C fortified abbey church built by Saint Augustin monks. Its imposing mass and vertiginous height dominates the village. You can visit a large tobacco barn which has been beautifully renovated and see the communal bread oven, dovecote, and the old 18th C hospital building. There is a signposted walk that runs along the edge of the church and into the surrounding countryside.
