Carennac

Small Dordogne-side hamlet in the Lot department of southwestern France, Carennac holds a medieval priory — an 11th-century church and cloister — alongside a 16th-century castle where the author of The Adventures of Telemachus, François Fénelon, lived in the 1680s. The church features a carved tympanum and the cloister a 15th-century entombment sculpture. Despite its size, the village has a handful of cafés and restaurants, and is a member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France.
