A small natural and unspoilt town, Dourgne is located at the foot of the Montagne Noire. People come to Dourgne mainly for calm and relaxation, to find themselves far from the hustle and bustle of traditional tourism, put on their walking shoes and set off to discover the natural and vernacular heritage at their own pace. Dovecotes hidden in the countryside, small crosses on the way, fountains and old washhouses... Panoramas too!
In Dourgne, people in search of spiritual renewal can go to the Saint-Benoît d'En Calcat abbey. You can't visit it, but you can relax there. A community of 60 monks lives there all year round, in religious contemplation. You can discover another abbey in the town: the Benedictine abbey of Sainte Scholastique which houses Benedictine nuns. It offers several workshops, visits, a shop and also a hotel service for people looking for a spiritual retreat or a moment of calm in the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
