This full day tour from Sarlat la Canéda will take you along the Dordogne River to discover some of the most beautiful medieval castles the region has to offer. To make things easier for you, your guide has selected the most stunning castles and gardens that can be visited in the region.
You can choose to visit from either:
- Beynac Castle, a Middle Ages construction, perched on top of a limestone cliff, dominating the town and the north bank of the Dordogne River.
- Castelnaud la Chapelle Castle - Built in the 12th century, Château de Castelnaud became the possession of a Cathar lord in the 13th century and was destroyed by Simon de Montfort during the Albigensian Crusade.
- Commarque Castle - One of the preferred castles of the Dordogne.
- Milandes Castle & Gardens - Built in 1489, this charming castle with its magnificent Gothic features is a great example of Renaissance architecture.
- Castle of Fénelon - Far from the busy castles located next to Sarlat, lesser known Chateau de Fénelon is a small gem.
- Gardens of Eyrignac Manor - This Garden is one of the most famous of the Dordogne area. Located in the Perigord noir area, admire the many geometric lines that are a setting for the Manor.
- Gardens of Marqueyssac -Listed as a National Historical Monument, the garden offers more than 6 kilometers of shaded paths, edged with 150 000 hand-pruned hundred-year-old boxwoods.
