Notre-Dame de Donac church in Romanesque style. The church cannot be visited at any time, it is only open on special occasions (religious festivals). Donnac is a village of more than 700 inhabitants. There are no restaurants, cafes or supermarkets, just the main amenities, like the town hall, post office and this church.

Worth seeing fortress, unfortunately the weather was not nice for further explorations.
