    • THE CASTLE OF PERIGORD


      Let me tell you about my millennial history… I have seen so many things in my walls. No battle has overcome my greatness. Sieges set my ramparts ablaze in the Middle Ages! But nothing prevented me from reaching you. I am not a simple castle… my origins date back to time immemorial. I was one of the 6 duchies-peerages of the kingdom of France! Duke, Governor of Guyenne, of Languedoc, Viceroy of Navarre, Marshals… My family welcomed big names and crowned heads here. Like a beacon, I impose my greatness from Périgord to Agenais… My name was that of a glorious destiny that men and artists shaped in stone ink, giving me the look of a giant!

      The castle of the Dukes of Biron is full of architectural treasures and majestic rooms which house contemporary art exhibitions throughout the year. Almost 1000 years of history have carved this stone giant, presenting a medieval, Renaissance and classical castle all in one !

      Like an open book, the castle bears witness to the extraordinary talent and inspiration of its builders. Browse the old fortress rising to the clouds, and enjoy the Renaissance city whose surrounding countryside is a veritable garden with a southern accent.

    A definite highlight of the area. Views are breathtaking, architecture is amazing and lots of history in the many rooms and corridors. Best start early to avoid crowds as it gets packed quickly

    Great place to go. Give yourself between 1-2 hrs to go around and actually enjoy. So much history and architecture, and the views are amazing.

    Super château and we visit it several times through the year because there are lots of different things going on. I’ve choses several photos to illustrate this. Fantastic views and helpful staff. There is a gift shop and a coffee/drinks machine on site. There is parking available in a car park in the village but it’s hard to find so needs a parking sign as most people struggle to find it
