Nowadays, only very few mills are still in operation in their original function, but they appear to hikers and cyclists along the river as technical and historical monuments of an ancient craft tradition: Only through human ingenuity and the natural power of flowing water as driving energy, the heavy millstones inside were moved and so, for example, grain could be ground into flour (so-called grain mills) or oil could be pressed from fruits (e.g. olives) (so-called oil mills).

Abbey to visit, and its building just opposite, three floors of cultures, workshops, and exhibitions of painters, sculptors. The roof is remarkable for its complexity and its scale.

The Benedictine abbey of Brantôme, built on the banks of the Dronne, is one of the most important religious sites in Périgord. Initially built in the rock, in a troglodyte fashion, it houses impressive caves, which can be visited. The abbey church, where religious services still take place, is topped by a Romanesque bell tower from the 11th century, which is among the oldest in France.
