Castles and fortified houses
There could be a thousand and one castle in the Dordogne-Périgord! Some are private, like Château de Montfort, just a stone’s throw from our house. Others, to our great delight, are open to visitors and are each more beautiful than the last.
From fortified castles to Renaissance châteaux, in the bend of a valley or on a rocky outcrop, there’s something for everyone!
We recommend a few that you can visit near our house.
