Chateaux de Beynac, Dordogne
Chateau de Beynac

Chateau Beynac stands out as a favourite among the many along the Dordogne River, but This is in part because Beynac itself is a pretty village, and in part because the castle towers over the river and is visible from so many places. Another lovely castle to visit, like Bonaguil and Biron, Chateau Beynac has its own long history of battles and troubles, and plenty to explore and admire - including splendid views.

Chateau Beynac is a very visible landmark as you canoe down the Dordogne River.
