Thanks for joining us on the Brantôme Insiders Guide, a collection of   insider tips on  where to eat, what to see, where to stay, and a wide variety of things to do in Brantôme, one of the most beautiful historic towns in the Dordogne region of France. 

The site was created to complement a new historical full colour book just published on Brantôme, and to share insider knowledge that only a local can provide.  All recommendations based on first hand experience of residents of the area, and as the site does not take any advertising, it is completely independent!

The majority of the bed and breakfast accommodation, restaurants, holiday gites, farmhouse rentals, and shops on the site have been visited over the past 12 months, to provide advice that is as reliable as possible. There is information on beaches, walks, chateaux, and many other things to do in the area. We aren't infallible though, and please note that this website provides suggestions only, that you are free to follow or ignore!

Please check out the official site of Brantôme Tourist Office here for further information on your holidays, if you can read French.  Also look at all the ways you can get to Brantôme by rail, car and plane!

If you do have any feedback about the places you visit, either positive or negative, please get in touch by email so that we can update the website.  In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this Insider's Guide to Brantôme, and have a wonderful holiday in France!

Brantôme is a fascinating town with an even more fascinating history.

Read all about it in this newly published 32-page book, with large full colour pictures on every page. This wonderful memento of your visit to Brantôme is available online, or in the locations listed below. Ten percent of the profits will fund a project benefiting Brantôme.
