Visit Saint Pardoux la Riviere

Saint Pardoux la Riviere is 19km south-west of Nontron.

Saint Pardoux la Riviere was built up around a ford on the river Dronne which pilgrims used to visit the abbey at Brantome. There was once a monastery here though not much remains as many of the buildings of the village have used the stone from the monastery.

There is a very pleasant square, the Place Generale de Gaulle, which has the church on one side and a war memorial on another. There is also a fountain in the square. Take a look at the other side of the church which has a large, attractive sun-dial on it. The church is a Roman church dating back to the 12th century and the sun-dial was added in the mid 1800s.

Stroll towards the river where you can see a lovely old stone bridge and the ford.
