A village of incomparable medieval charm
Listed as one of France's Most Beautiful Villages, like its Dordogne Valley neighbours Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, La Roque-Gageac, Limeuil and Domme, Beynac-et-Cazenac invites you to step back in time to the Middle Ages, with its blonde stone houses, cobbled streets and imposing castle standing watch over the Dordogne Valley. Built in the 12ᵉ century, the latter offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. Once a witness to the clashes between the French and English during the Hundred Years' War, it now opens its doors to tourists of all nationalities on camping holidays in the Périgord Noir. The village, built into the hillside, is a maze of narrow streets leading up to the castle. It is punctuated by spectacular views over the valley, like so many rewards for those who have tackled the steep streets.
