Besse (French pronunciation: [bɛs] ⓘ; Occitan: Beça) is a commune in the Dordogne department in southwestern France.

The porch comprises two decorated Romanesque voussures ornées below an archivolt, resting on colonnettes and framed by lateral dosserets which mount to the height of the imposts.

These colonnettes continue below the l'archivolt to a corniche supported by corbels forming the base of a triangular fronton decorated with lozenges.

The themes of the porch sculpture, expressing the messianic Redemption, are read from left to right: In the centre, two angels raise a small seated man.

The murals in the South transept These late 16thc paintings, discovered in 1961, were restored without the authorisation of the Department of Historic Monuments.
