All good things come in threes at Château de Commarque
A natural high on a hot-air balloon ride from the bottom of the castrum!
Château de Commarque and its heritage lie in an untamed natural site. And if there’s one way to feast your eyes on the setting, it’s definitely from the skies… And Claire, Julie and Romain won’t say otherwise! Our 3 jammy dodgers take the maiden voyage on the hot-air balloon from Château de Commarque.
Just picture getting into the hot-air balloon basket in the middle of a meadow… the building stands proud on its rocky headland before you… the sun rises and the first rays of light illuminate the keep and awaken the ancient fortification.
Your heart fills to bursting as the balloon silently rises into the sky. Now you’re soaring above the iconic Périgord Noir monument, picturing the olden days amongst these buildings whose designs you now see clear as day.
“The view of Commarque from the cockpit is incredible,” says Romain. The leafy carpet and Beune Valley unfurl beneath your very eyes. You feel good, peaceful, soothed by the bracing morning breeze as you soak up a fairytale experience at Commarque before you continue your magical adventure. “It was my first time in a hot-air balloon and I loved the silence around us when we reached the skies.”

Travel back in time on a private tour of the prehistoric cave
Aude and Jean de Commarque can’t wait to introduce their VIP to this underground site in the shadow of the citadel’s ruins. Former visitors probably never noticed the unassuming little door carved into the cliffside. This is your chance to open the door and see what’s on the other side…
This slice of history dates back 15,000 years and the family has been protecting the little gem with passion. Keep your eyes peeled as there’s a whole host of cave art in the 3 galleries. Don’t worry if you can’t see them; Aude will be your guide and introduce your small group to the cave’s highlights, including the famous horse head. A prehistory gallery in the main building’s cellar brings the experience full circle. It’s home to an exhibition and 3D film of the Commarque prehistoric cave!
“The cave is a sleeping beauty deep in Commarque. Visitors couldn’t see it before now and we feel it’s important to share its wonder”
Aude de Commarque.
Experience these brand new activities on your own, as a couple, with family or friends at one of the most beautiful châteaux in Périgord!
