St Jean de Cole tourist information
Saint Jean de Cole is a classified most beautiful village of France and is located 19km to the north-east of Brantome and 7 km west of Thiviers in the northern part of the Dordogne department in Perigord Vert.
In a peaceful location on the banks of the River Cole, Saint Jean de Cole is a very attractive village. The main street is approached across the arched medieval stone bridge at one end of the village, itself giving a nice view of the town.
The village is a very well maintained medieval ensemble, with a mix of old stone houses and colombage houses, many having very impressive traditional roofs. There is also an attractive 11th century market hall in St Jean de Cole.
The two main 'sights' in the village are the church and belltower of Saint-Jean-Baptiste church, and the 15th century Chateau de la Marthonie.
There is a flower festival held in St Jean de Cole in the second week of May.
