Les Artigues-De-Lussac: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

The former Cistercian abbey of Abbaye de Faise is located in the municipality of Les Artigues-de-Lussac. It was founded in the 12th century by Cistercian monks from Cadouin Abbey and was tasked with accommodating pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. Maurice Druon acquired Abbaye de Faise in 1972 and, together with his wife Madeleine, carried out extensive restoration work there for almost ten years. Abbaye de Faise still has a cloister and a 12th-century gallery; the ground floor houses the museum area of the Maison d'écrivains.

I would like to rent a holiday apartment in Les Artigues-De-Lussac.

Culture

The Sacré-Cœur church is a neoclassical building with a long rectangular nave, a three-sided apse and a square bell tower. It features interior frescoes and stained-glass windows that have been completely restored with the help of an association.

Wine and sightseeing

By prior arrangement, Château Croix de Rambeau offers tours and wine tastings at the estate.

Walking routes

The “Les Artigues de Lussac en toute tranquillité” hiking route leads around Abbaye Notre-Dame-de-Faise. Local hikes run along vineyard plots and some small streams, passing various cultural monuments. A 15 km circular route is dedicated to the municipality of Les Artigues-de-Lussac.
