Land of 1,001 Castles

First stop: Château de Castelnau-Bretenoux !
The perfect example of a fortified castle in the Dordogne Valley, Castelnau-Bretenoux sits high on a rocky plateau with 6 towers, 3 bastions and 1 heck of a keep… Besides boasting fabulous views over the valleys, its walls of red stone make the fortress visible from miles around.
For info: You can get combined tickets for the château de Castelnau and château de Montal

Dordogne readers, say hello to one of the finest Renaissance castles in the Valley: Château de Montal!
With its fascinating history and glorious views of the Tours de Saint-Laurent, this little gem tops the list of places to visit.
Renovated period rooms, an ornate stairwell and a courtyard brimming with mouldings and sculptures… Palace of Versailles, eat your heart out !
